Paperback Release Date : October 29, 2024

Earlier this month I went on a tour of Poland. I had this book on my TBR and read it when I returned home. My first stop on my trip was a visit to the Warsaw ghetto which included the monument of the Footbridge over Chlodna Street which is depicted on the cover.

The book is about Adam Paskow, a teacher, living in the Warsaw ghetto. While there, he becomes part of a secret group of archivists creating a historical record for the future by interviewing students, and housemates. For each interview,he documents the horrific conditions, their feelings, as well as the daily struggles. These documents were recovered after the war – The Oneg Shabbat underground archive.

I want thank the author for this well researched and impactful novel.
