I Saw Another Butterfly

About the Book

Joseph “Yossi” Aron was born in 1947 in Satumare, Romania and spent his fi rst 4 years in Linz Displaced Persons Camp, Austria. In 1951, at the tender age of 4, Joseph Aron and his parents arrived in New York and settled in Boro Park. Joseph’s parents, Holocaust survivors, worked tirelessly to give him a fi ne Jewish education and a love of family. As a young boy he was privileged to sing with Cantor Moshe Kusevitsky’s Choir at Temple Beth- El. Joseph’s love for Jewish music and abilities as a Cantor enabled him to be the High Holy Days Cantor for some years at the Baldwin Jewish Center. His work as an airline consultant took him to over 100 countries where he helped modernize their airline industries. Joseph’s interest in the native culture endeared him to many people. Until the last moment of his life, Joseph never forgot the tragedy the Holocaust brought upon his own family and Jewish people and worked tirelessly to ensure that their memory will never be forgotten. While bravely fi ghting his devastating illness, he managed to complete this poem book just before he passed way in July 2010 at the young age of 63.
