Coles Hotel Colombia: My Family's Immigration Story at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

"Hotel Colombia" traces the Liffmann/Harf and Gottschalk/Hess lineage from Germany's Rhineland to Colombia where I was born and raised. Our ancestors were modest farmers and small town merchants that seldom ventured far beyond their communities. Several dozen family members tragically perished during the Holocaust but a few, including my parents, were fortunate and emigrated in 1937-38 to Cali and Bogotá. I was motivated to write this book because it's essential that future generations of Liffmanns—especially those living in the United States, Colombia, Israel, and Australia—develop a deep understanding of their heritage. Our family's journey, the challenges we've faced, and the values that have guided us all contribute to the identity we share today.
