Description
Book SynopsisThese seventy-one firsthand stories from survivors of the Holocaust teach us to choose to remember for life, for their words are not about hatred and death but about ethics, decency and love. Although the stories are arranged to accompany the weekly
Torah readings and many of the Jewish holidays, they are just as meaningful when read on their own, in any sequence.
Trade Review“A worthwhile collection.”—Marcia Weiss Posner, Jewish Book World
