Kempler, April Voytko: - A native Californian, April Kempler was raised in beautiful downtown Burbank. April currently resides in her "adopted" city of Reno, Nevada. April Voytko Kempler's first book The Altered I: Memoir of Holocaust Survivor Joseph Kempler is a first-person narrative that tells the story of her father-in-law's experience as a Holocaust survivor. As a Jewish teen, Joseph Kempler survived six different concentration camps, some of them death camps, throughout Poland and Austria. He later converted to a Christian faith because of what he witnessed in the camps. The Altered I chronicles this life-altering decision.
