About this book

Under a Lucky Star recounts Josh Pila’s inspirational story through the unimaginable horrors of the Holocaust, the deprivations of post-war Europe, the pioneering spirit of the newly created State of Israel, and the relative tranquility of life in Melbourne, Australia. Josh’s journey tracks a universal Jewish narrative of persecution and redemption. A combination of tenacity, resilience, hope and a liberal dose of luck took Josh from the turbulent depths of the twentieth century to a peaceful life, filled with love, laughter, success and fulfilment.
