Book Synopsis
As a boy studying "Torah", Isaac Neuman learned to seek the spiritual lessons hidden in everyday life. In this narrative of occupation and holocaust, he uncovers a core of human decency and spiritual strength that inhumanity, starvation, and even death failed to extinguish. It describes the world of Polish Jewry before and during the Holocaust.

Trade Review
"Neuman's narrative is valuable for his repeated efforts to draw moral lessons from his experiences. . . . Especially useful for readers who wonder how survivors were able to preserve their faith and morality during the Holocaust." -- Richard Lachmann, Multicultural Review
"This is an extraordinary book. Rarely do we read so movingly of the intimate moments of deep faith in God that sustained so many pious Jews during the terrible years of the Shoah. Through these memoirs, we have a glimpse of the East European Jewish religious life that no longer exists." -- Susannah Heschel, Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies, Dartmouth College, and author of Abraham Geiger and the Jewish Jesus
