Eva Zeisel's courage and cheerful optimism in the face of overwhelming misery is inspirational. Arrested without cause and imprisoned without trial, she kept her spirits up as much as possible and gained wisdom beyond her years. The story of the rest of her life includes creating beautiful useful things for the world to enjoy. Her life is definitely worth knowing.
