How can one family's compassion and resolve shape the destiny of an entire community? Join us as we sit down with Vincent Magano to uncover the awe-inspiring tale of Solomon and Esther Ueberall, whose extraordinary acts of kindness not only saved St. Lucy's Church but also saved lives during the darkest days of World War II. Through Vincent's vivid recollections and his compelling book, "The Third Attic," we journey back to mid-20th century Brooklyn and explore how the Uberalls' generosity in 1913 paved the way for the rescue of 24 relatives from Austria, with the indispensable help of Father Caruana.
This episode is more than a historical account; it's a moving chronicle of faith, community, and the enduring power of human goodness. We delve into the lasting legacy of the Uberall family's acts of kindness, immortalized by the symbolic Star of David grates in St. Lucy's ceiling. These poignant gestures by the Italian community serve as timeless reminders of unity and compassion. Tune in for a conversation that bridges history and heartfelt memories, and discover how acts of kindness can transcend time and continue to inspire.
Vincent Manago reminisces on a boyhood in 1950s and 1960s Brooklyn.
