Sample Book Insights:

#1 I remember the first time I saw my father being beaten by the Nazis. It was in 1942, when I was five years old, and I was with my mother and brother in Piotrków, Poland. Father was standing in a crowd of Jews, men on one side, women and children on the other.

#2 The worst thing I endured during the Holocaust was not the hunger, the cold, or the beatings, but the humiliation. It is almost impossible to bare the helplessness of unjustified humiliation.

#3 The three of us melded together as one. We had to be completely silent and keep as close to Mother as possible. We had to be smuggled out under cover of darkness, as if we were part of her body.

#4 The three of us went out the door, but we were separated when one German noticed a bit more movement than expected. I was on the left side, my mother was on the right, and Shmuel was on the right side. The force of the blow hurled me and my mother into a puddle outside the synagogue.
