A Holocaust Survivor's Search for God

De: Walter Ziffer

Narrado por: Walter Ziffer

The life story of a Holocaust survivor: his prewar childhood in Czechoslovakia, his experiences in eight Nazi concentration camps, his liberation and emigration to the US, and his career as a General Motors engineer, a Christian minister, and a consummate teacher.

For Walter Ziffer, who today considers himself a Jewish secular humanist, life has always been a search for meaning. His compelling and insightful memoir distills the experiences of a remarkable man.

Interesting

The book started out very interesting through the concentration camp but toward the end of the book, it was hard to stay focused on the reader. I, personally, would have liked to have known more about living or should I say, trying to stay alive in the concentration camps.

Brutally honest and beautiful

This is a story difficult to hear for its brutal honesty but so beautifully brought to life by Walter Ziffer, the man himself who lived it. Much like Elie Wiesel’s “Night,” it should be required reading of everyone teenage and older, everywhere.

so interesting

absolutely loved the storyline, and was so inspired by the openness of his love for all religion. highly recommend

Interesting Story

First person narrative of being Jewish during the rise of Hitler’s Reich is interesting. The recounting of his later life is rather tedious and not as interesting.
