Black-and-white photographs, portraits, illustrations, etc. Bright, clean, and unmarked; very good+ and housed in very good+ dustjacket. SIGNED and inscribed by the author to Harold Buchwald, prominent Jewish-Canadian attorney, and member of the Order of Canada.

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