Survivor's Tales Lidia Eichenholz

Survivor's Tales is a collection of individually powerful stories which together form an unusual and exciting Holocaust era memoir. In sparse, elegant prose, Lidia Eichenholtz tells a gripping tale of coming of age during World War II. Readers are immediately drawn into her journey from girlhood within the protection of a warm, loving wealthy Polish Jewish family to young womanhood, on her own, with nothing but her wits standing between her and certain death. Through masterful understatement, the author's story of determination, resourcefulness, youth and luck leaves one with an abundance of life lessons and enormous respect for the remarkable resilience of the human spirit."The best Holocaust era memoir I have ever read because of its beautiful simplicity, the power of both what is written and left unwritten, and the intellect of the author which shines through."-Arlene Rossen Cardozo, PhD, author of Jewish Family Celebrations
