Challenging Faith is a true story of significance that introduces the Simon family of Cloppenburg, Germany to the world. Challenging Faith will touch you and make you look at today's society in a different way-perhaps. It explains how those Simons that survive build their lives back from anguish to strength, from despair through courage to triumph and celebration. But this story is not just about the war and the Holocaust, it's much more. It is a story of tragedy and triumph both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Each member is precious and you will grow to respect them and their devotion to each other and their faith. Take your time falling in love with the Simons.
