When Gerry Goodman was just 23 years old, he bravely stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day during World War II. Amid the chaos of battle, he confiscated twelve crystal glasses adorned with the most malevolent symbol of hate, the swastika. Gerry envisioned a day when these glasses would be shattered at the weddings of his children and grandchildren, each break signifying his family’s "Goodness" triumphing over darkness and hate.

In The 12 Glasses: The Resurrection of the Goodmans, grandson Matthew Goodman recounts his family’s struggles, sorrows, and triumphs through this powerful narrative, transforming a haunting symbol into a legacy of love. Inspired by actual events, this poignant journey of self-discovery and healing reveals how one man’s vision can unite a family across generations and inspire healing in us all.
