Reviews
Tears of stone is yesterday today and tomorrow
A cautionary tale a human story and an immensely poignant art piece perhaps art form.
This cinematic artistic masterpiece combines intimacy with G-D wrenching truths to reveal haunting realities.
Realities that are hidden in plain sight.
Esther Leon Schwartz brings “guttural” spirits to life
Her characters emerge as “living ghosts” that teach and warn of the harm that the lack of human compassion can create.
The film is an antidote for our apathetic times steeply drenched in the essence of timeless tragedy-
Yet it approaches the viewer from an ultra modern-intensely intimate vantage pointe
From the moment it begins you will begin to change
Tears of stone is a film that could change the world for the better
I was blown away-such a heartfelt, compelling story-had me glued to the screen. A must watch
The Book
It’s not what you are, it’s what you can be.
With relentless faith, and against all odds, Estherleon Schwartz is singing!
From German occupied France where the nuns sheltered and hid her from the Nazis …..
to a narrow escape over the barbed wire fence at the Swiss border where her father cried to the heavens, “Save my daughter and she will always serve you.”….
to America at age 8 with an emotionally destructive, embittered mother….
to single motherhood at 23, and welfare in a cockroach infested apartment…..
to an empire of clothing stores…..
to personal tragedy….. and, finally, with steadfast faith, to the fulfillment of her father’s covenant and her own search for purpose and healing…..
Estherleon weaves a poetic, self-effacing tale of how she finally came to find her voice in her newly released book, Tears of Stone and My Deal with God.
“…a beautiful study of a complicated relationship with a mother and her daughter…the reader will easily relate to similar issues within their own life and will find this book to be inspiring and healing.”
— Howard Richman
“…In spite of everything, and when all is said and done, with a brave heart I sang my way through it all.”
Cantor Estherleon Schwartz
