I Will Give Them an Everlasting Name: Jacksonville’s Stories of the Holocaust 

Sam Cox 

Samuel Cox is a retired US Army Reserve officer, an educator for four decades, and a lifelong student of the Holocaust. From 1994-1999 he taught a Holocaust class at St. Johns Country Day School in Orange Park, Florida, where he came to know the ten friends he writes about in this book. A unique approach to Holocaust literature, Sam’s book shares the compelling stories of eight Jews, a Righteous Gentile, and a liberator, all connected by the Holocaust and Jacksonville, Florida.
