| Publisher Description: This book is my attempt to answer a question which loomed in my mind as I was growing up: "What did my parents do to deserve to be treated as they were during the Holocaust?" Although my parents did not divulge as much to me as other survivors did with their children, the stories they told me described years of loss, fear, starvation, and humiliation. There are no heroic sagas of resistance or partisan groups fighting in this book. Perhaps the form of resistance described here is the simple will to survive. This book describes two gentle people who got caught up in the terrible world events that engulfed them and an entire generation of Jewish people, and who, somehow, found the strength to survive, persevere, and to finally rebuild their lives in a post-WWII world. |
