Yvona Fast  and Dana Fast , authors of Good in the Midst of Evil
​After a daring escape from the Warsaw ghetto, 11-year old Lilka is torn away from her family. With a name change and new identity papers, her life becomes a masquerade. She must learn to act the role of a Catholic girl living in the Polish country, a role she's not familiar with or prepared for. Will she succeed?
Dana became a strong, independent woman, with a degree in chemistry and a career in medical research. She retired to gardening, hiking and volunteering in her community of Saranac Lake, where she has lived almost a half-century. She was recognized as a Woman of Distinction by Assemblyman Billy Jones in 2022. She is an Adirondack 46er, has hiked across England, grew all her own vegetables and flowers for many years. She volunteered at the Saranac Lake Free Library, as a Master Gardener Volunteer, at the Paul Smith’s Visitor’s Interpretive Center both with school kids and at the butterfly house, at the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge Habitat Awareness Day, at the Saranac Lake Village Improvement Society, and other venues.

​Dana’s message for many years has been that it has been unfair to deny the heroism of many Poles who risked their own lives as well as the lives of their families. In her memoirs she describes the individuals who helped her find Good in the Midst of Evil.
