Your parents`experiences and resulting effects on their psyche cast a long shadow on your own childhood. Nazi ideology targeted the children as legitimate quarry. Only now, as the grandchildren of survivors continue their lives can we hope for protest….and…….action. Antisemitism is still rife, as is racism towards other groups. May Israel flourish and defy those who still see Jewry as a threat. I look forward eagerly to more of your work. Ronalda L. United Kingdom Martin,

Antisemitism is still rife, as is racism towards other groups.
May Israel flourish and defy those who still see Jewry as a threat.
I look forward eagerly to more of your work.

Didn't quite understand it until I read your memoir. I remember going to your house often. Your mom made some kind of brisket which to this day I could taste but not duplicate. I remember the alley way between the houses and the garage out back on 88th. Street. I could never figure out what religion you followed. From what I recollect you would come across the street from your house, but never would go to synagogue with us. But now I understand the secrets in your house that made me wonder who you actually were. In many ways you are very lucky ti have parents who eventually opened up to you and gave you a personal account of history when most of us who had lost relatives during the war had speculative accounts from family who had immigrated to the states long before the war. Keep writing and I'll keep reading. Marty,

I can't wait to read the entire memoir! (or see the movie). Your story is beautiful although sad. I can’t wait to read the entire memoir! (or see the movie).

You must be very proud of your parents, having gone through those terrible times, and survived to tell their story. God bless all the survivors and the victims.

My grandmother and grandfather had parents that were both born in Russia, and fled to New York for freedom. They escaped the horrors of the holocaust. If their parents would have stayed in Russia they would have been wiped out under Hitlers regime. Your parent’s story has touched my life. Out of the horrors of the holocaust a nation is born, and never again will the Jewish people cower in fear being shuffled here and there. They are G-d’s people, and he will defend his people, and no one will ever again try to pluck them out of his hands. For They are a chosen people, holy and righteous. Your father was truly a hero, and will be honored by the King for his devotion. I have read part of the memoir of your story, and it is quite intriging.
