Remember Us is a look back at the lost world of the shtetl: a wise Zayde offering prophetic and profound words to his grandson, the rich experience of Shabbos, and the treasure of a loving family. All this is torn apart with the arrival of the Holocaust, beginning a crucible fraught with twists and turns so unpredictable and surprising that they defy any attempt to find reason within them. Through the eyes of 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Martin Small, we learn that these priceless memories that are too painful to remember are also too painful to forget.

Israel Meir Lau, one of the youngest survivors of Buchenwald, was just eight years old when the camp was liberated in 1945. Descended from a 1,000-year unbroken chain of rabbis, he grew up to become Chief Rabbi of Israel--and like many of the great rabbis, Lau is a master storyteller. Out of the Depths is his harrowing, miraculous, and inspiring account of life in one of the Nazis' deadliest concentration camps, and how he managed to survive against all possible odds.

Imagine being a 13-year-old girl in love with boys, school, family - life itself. Then suddenly, in a matter of hours, your life is shattered by the arrival of a foreign army. This is the memoir of Elli Friedmann, who was 13 years old in March 1944, when the Nazis invaded Hungary. It describes her descent into the hell of Auschwitz, a concentration camp where, because of her golden braids, she was selected for work instead of extermination. In intimate, excruciating details she recounts what it was like.

Stephen 'Pista' Nasser was 13 years old when the Nazis whisked him and his family away from their home in Hungary to Auschwitz. His memories of that terrifying experience are still vivid, and his love for his brother Andris still brings a husky tone to his voice when he remembers the terrible ordeal they endured together. Stephen's account of the Holocaust, told in the refreshingly direct and optimistic language of a young boy, will help every listener to understand that the Holocaust was real.

Editorial Reviews

Roman Halter was a 12-year-old Jewish boy in Poland during the holocaust. His memoirs evoke some of the horrific images that countless others have described as well, of course, as the unique horrors that each person who survived life in a concentration camp faced.

Veteran Actor and voiceover artist Robin Sachs performs Halter’s account with dignity and reverence. Relating and retelling the trauma as many seem compelled to do and as others need to hear, to attempt to understand, Halter describes, with a stark and lucid style, the terrors of being rounded up on trains and brought to camps, seeing friends and family killed by the Nazis and returning to the destroyed places of his childhood.

Publisher's Summary

With the immediacy of a novel and the simplicity of distilled truth, this Holocaust memoir already feels like a classic, like Elie Wiesel's Night and Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz.

Roman Halter was a spirited, optimistic schoolboy in 1939 when he and his family gathered behind the curtains to watch the Volksdeutsche (German Polish) neighbors of their small town in western Poland greet the arrival of Hitler's armies with kisses and swastika flags. Within days, the family home had been seized, 12-year-old Roman had become a slave of the local SS chief, and, returning from an errand, he silently witnessed his Jewish classmates being bayoneted to death by soldiers at the edge of town.

So began his remarkable six-year journey through some of the darkest caverns of Nazi Europe that claimed the lives of every other member of his family and the 800-strong community of his boyhood. Incredibly, he survived the Lodz ghetto, Auschwitz, the Stutthof concentration camp, and work as a slave laborer in a factory in Dresden, where he endured the fire-bombing that destroyed the city. He later managed to escape from the SS on a death march, and lasted out the end of the war in hiding with a brave German couple, only to return to his native village to find it completely transformed: emptied of Jews, rife with anti-Semitism and envy, and no longer resembling anything like home.

In unadorned yet powerful, sometimes harrowing prose, he tells his indelible story with a simplicity and grace that allow the facts of his suffering and survival speak for themselves.

Could not finish!!!!

I actually had to fast forward through parts of the story was historically interesting but the reader was extremely boring. This book could have been half as long and could have been told in a much stronger more interesting version.
