Written with clinical precision, Henry Glenwick's memoirs provide particularly valuable insight…At each stop he candidly diagnoses the key contacts and privileges that gave him a chance at survival.
— Christopher R. Browning, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; author of Origins of the Final Solution
…Especially important for a post-Holocaust generation…Glenwick…responded to a life of threat and suffering by pursuing a life of dignity and purpose. Godliness is discovered in the response to, not in the cause of, tragedy.
— Harold Schulweis, rabbi, Valley Beth Shalom, Encino, California, and founding chairman, Jewish Foundation for the Righteous
A gripping narrative of Jewish life under the Nazi occupation, as well as rarely included material about the prewar era in Warsaw. The writing is very understated and very powerful. Highly recommended!
— Samuel Kassow, professor of history, Trinity College
…depicts both the ordinariness and the challenges of life…of a young man struggling to become a doctor and practice his profession when humanity very nearly lost itself.
— Yael Danieli, Distinguished Professor of International Psychology, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, director, Group Project for Holocaust Survivors and Their Children
A true story of courage, luck, brutality, and both the friendship and hostility of strangers. It is the Holocaust in microcosm, and I heartily recommend it.
— Stephen Berk, professor of Holocaust and Jewish studies, Union College
…The clinical detachment with which he writes…serves to heighten both the horror that he confronted daily and the resolve which enabled him to survive. This is a gripping account.
— Neil Gillman, professor emeritus of Jewish philosophy, The Jewish Theological Seminary of America
