Remember Us: My Journey from the Shtetl Through the Holocaust Vic Shayne, Martin Small

“Martin Small’s poignant recollections of his experiences in German concentration camps . . . constitute an important contribution to the literature of the most tragic chapter of contemporary history.”—Elie Wiesel, author of Night, winner of the Nobel Peace PrizeRemember Us is a look back at the lost world of the shtetl: a wise Zayde offering prophetic and profound words to his grandson, the rich experience of Shabbos, and the treasure of a loving family. All this is torn apart with the arrival of the Holocaust, beginning a crucible fraught with twists and turns so unpredictable and surprising that they defy any attempt to find reason within them. From work camps to the partisans of the Nowogrudek forests, from the Mauthausen concentration camp to life as a displaced person in Italy, and from fighting the Egyptian army in a tiny Israeli kibbutz in 1948 to starting a new life in a new world in New York, this book encompasses the mythical “hero’s journey” in very real historical events. Through the eyes of ninety-one-year-old Holocaust survivor Martin Small, we learn that these priceless memories that are too painful to remember are also too painful to forget. 20 black & white photographs Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Remember Us: My Journey from the Shtetl Through the Holocaust (Vic Shayne, Martin Small)
