A Young Jew's Story of Survival

Author: Rabbi Shimon Goldman

Real life details that dig beyond the oft-heard platitudes of the pre-War life and the Holocaust years separate From Shedlitz to Safety from the usual World War II memoir. A famed rabbi is recalled for his piety - and the boggy mud around his home. Holy yeshiva mornings are described as well as eerie cemetery dormitories for poor students. Rabbi Goldman gives the real inside story of his escape across continents to Japan, China, and then New York. Though Rabbi Goldman`s life could be told mournfully, the text pulsates with life and a keen eyewitness`s account of an unforgettable chapter of Jewish history.
