WHY ME, GOD?:
Jehoszua Cygelfarb The Second World War was over but the nightmares would not go away. Jehoszua returned to Piotrkow, Poland, to the building where those nightmares began, hoping to face his fears. At the age of thirteen, he didn’t understand why it happened. What he found in that almost empty building was not what he expected, and what it did was unlock the memories he had so desperately tried to forget. JOURNEY TO NOWHERE:
Michel Mayer and his Family The Meyer family left Beltz, Romania ahead of the Germans. They left without food, without possessions, without money. Michel, aged nine and his family, walked to Stalingrad, bribed their way to Samarkand, hired their hands and bodies to a farmer to get to Tashkent, and were separated by the Soviets when the father, Moishe was interned to Siberia to a living death in a labour camp. The Soviets did not know Golda Meyer, the mother, the wife or they would not have been so complacent. IT’S TIME TO LIVE:
Josef Morganstern “Save yourself,” his father pleaded when he threw his fourteen-year-old son from the train destined for Auschwitz. But the Germans caught him and sent him to Majdanek in Poland. The Germans needed 500 mechanics. Josef stepped forward. “You are a mechanic?” the German asked. “I fix bicycles,” Josef said. They put him on a train heading for Auschwitz, but half way there the train stopped and unbeknownst to Josef he was given a chance to live. TELL THEM THE JEWS ARE FIGHTING IN
WARSAW: Avrom Feldberg At the age of eighteen, he was a Polish partisan, posing as a gentile. At twenty, he fought in the Warsaw Ghetto until he escaped before the ghetto was ravaged. At twenty-one, he again became a gentile fighter and was commended for his bravery. It was not until the Polish government found him after the war and awarded him the medals for bravery did they discover the truth. And yet he claims he does not deserve the medal. Why? ONE
PERSON DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE: Max
Meisels The two teenage brothers lived by their wits in Vienna, Austria in 1938. They made it to England where they separated; Leo to Detroit, Michigan, Max stayed in London. Max became a glider pilot, Leo a bombardier in the U.S. Air Force. Max was captured in Holland, Leo parachuted into Yugoslavia. Leo fought in Israel, Max became an interpreter in Washington, D.C. at the war trials of Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, but it wouldn’t be until 1985 that Max’s life would come full circle. ESCAPE TO FREEDOM:
Ibolya and Andy Reti She hid in Budapest, Hungary, and wrote love letters to a husband that was dead. Through her letters and her son’s recollection, their story unfolds. From 1944 to 1956 she was a prisoner; first in jail and later of a country. They escaped to tell their story in prose and poetry.

Reviews:
"As
I walk home from Indigo in mid-town Toronto on a chilly Sunday November, I
am overwhelmed with emotion. It is Holocaust Week and author/storyteller
Alvin Abram spoke to the bookstore crowd. Only his friendly eyes and
easy-going disposition match his mesmerizing voice. Abram’s stories of
chance and circumstance deal with the miracles of the Holocaust and child
survivors, and his dedication to inform and spread awareness inspires me."
