Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-05 00:00:00 Jerry Wright This is one man's account of his life as a Jew in Poland during Hitler's rise and fall. A very well written memoir. It follows his life as a child growing up in Poland, to escape and hiding in Russia and the Ukraine, and the usual fate of most Jews in those areas - into multiple concentration camps. His real life story shows the holocaust through the polish and russian angles which I have not been as exposed to in literature. So often the focus is from the perspective of living in Germany and following the German Jew. An incredible story of survival and makes you again question introspectively what you would have done, what choices you would have made during those times as a Jew and as a non Jew.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-03-18 00:00:00 Lynn Robinson A very profound personal account of the struggle of the human will to survive against all odds. This book opened my eyes to the brutality of the Nazi regime, and gave me a real sense of how the darkness in one man has the potential to devastate the whole world.
