Coles The Unsinkable Love of Isidor and Ida Straus at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
From a small Bavarian village to the decks of the world's most famous ship, Isidor and Ida Straus tells the extraordinary true story of two lives bound by faith, love, and integrity. Born into modest beginnings, Isidor Straus rose to become one of America's most respected businessmen; the co-owner of R.H. Macy & Co. and a leader whose name became synonymous with honor in an age of ambition. At his side, always, was Ida Blun Straus; his partner in every sense, a woman of quiet intelligence and unwavering devotion. Together they built not only a family and a business empire, but a legacy rooted in kindness, fairness, and faith. Their story spans continents and centuries: from the dusty streets of postwar Georgia to the glittering avenues of New York's Gilded Age, from the humble counters of a dry-goods store to the grand marble halls of Macy's Herald Square. Through hardship and triumph, their partnership endured; until that fateful April night in 1912 aboard the RMS Titanic , when they faced the unthinkable and made a choice that would echo through time. "As we have lived, so shall we will die, together." More than a century later, their names still stand for what the sea could not wash away; love that endures, faith that guides, and the timeless measure of a life lived with honor.
