A Family Legacy: Publishing His Great-Grandfather’s Story
Beyond his business ventures, Michaelis has also played a significant role in preserving his family’s history. In July 2023, he helped facilitate the publication of The Price of Life, a memoir by his great-grandfather Abram Molodetsky.
This powerful book recounts Molodetsky’s harrowing journey as a young Jewish boy during World War II. From his early childhood in Odessa, Ukraine, to his struggle for survival during the Holocaust, the story captures the resilience and determination of a boy facing unimaginable horrors. The book serves as both a historical testament and an emotional narrative of survival, helping future generations learn about past tragedies.
Molodetsky’s remarkable life continued well beyond the war, and he eventually passed away in 2021 in Kiryat-Ata, Israel, just two years before his 100th birthday. Thanks to Michaelis’ efforts, The Price of Life is now available in multiple languages, allowing readers worldwide to connect with this profoundly moving story.
