A riveting account of two orphaned brothers whose courage enabled them to survive the rarely told horrors of the Holocaust in Romania. As Jews expelled from Bukovina and Bessarabia to Transnistria, young Joil and his brother Avrum witnessed the cruel deaths of their parents and many others. This is a deeply personal account told through the memories of a child. Readers will never forget the powerful and loving bond between these two brothers. This memoir becomes an inspiring and thoughtful experience for any reader willing to consider both the constructive and the destructive capacities of humankind. This is a story both poignant and triumphant as Joil recounts how he survived the Holocaust with an unmistakable optimism that ultimately brought him to the prairies of Canada.
