Description
By: Samuel Marder
Through short stories and poetry in both fiction and nonfiction, Samuel Marder paints a vivid picture of his family's life and his childhood, forever shattered by the Holocaust. Their lives in pre-war Romania took a tragic turn when they were deported to a concentration camp in Transnistria for three-and-a-half years. After liberation, through difficult and dangerous journeys, they found refuge in a Displaced Persons Camp in Germany. His gripping stories move from survival and perseverance in the face of brutality and tragedy to hope and renewal when they finally get to the United States.
