Product Description

Product Description

On 15th September 1939 the Orenstein family of Hrubieszow, Poland, joined the stream of refugees fleeing the German army. For the next six years the lives of this once-prosperous Jewish family were to be an almost inconceivable nightmare of cramped waterless hideouts, betrayals by their Polish neighbours, beatings, concentration camps, brutal forced marches, and finally, for some, murder. Their story is movingly told by Henry, the youngest son, who survived the war through intelligence, luck, bravery, and determination to live. As well as the ordeals and horrors of the holocaust he also describes his life in pre-war Poland: the satisfactions of academic success, thrashing the school bully, and his mother's cooking, as well as the indignities of assaults, taunts, and Jewish quotas in schools, and the ever-present fear of pogroms.

Heart wrenching while still hopeful! 31 Aug 2007
By Jennifer L. Knapp - Published on Amazon.com
This is a well written personal history of a terrifying time most of us can only imagine. Mr. Orenstein does an amazing job of telling us chronologically what happened to him and those closest to him. What amazed me throughout was the deep vein of hope that was palpable no matter how bad things seemed to be. Perhaps Mr. Orenstein, his family and friends were not always optimistic about their chances but they seemed to remain faithful to one another, their beliefs and their undying faith that the evil that was pervasive during WWII would be beaten down eventually.

I have a deep love of WWII history that was sparked by works of Stephen Ambrose and has crossed over to numerous authors and survivor's stories since. Mr. Orenstein has made his daily life much more visible than some have by focusing on how he dealt with life day in and day out.

To all of the survivors of war, bless you and be strong. Tell your story!
