By William Samelson, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor, Korean War Vet. and Holocaust survivor.
In this remarkable book, William Samelson points out in minute detail the sequence of events during and after the Second World War and the Holocaust. He penetrates into the hearts of individual lives, the reactions of ‘ordinary people’, some of whom, under the duress of the times, turn into veritable demons and others perform acts of mercy at the risk of forfeiting all of their possessions, safety of family, and even their lives.
Samelson takes as close a look as we are likely to get into the life of the victims of Nazi brutality. He loses his family, his life is interrupted early on, and he must fend for himself in a struggle for survival. Samelson follows his journey through the darkest hours of history. He must summon the most hidden instincts a human can muster, which are crucial in his quest to retain the worldview of a productive member of society in spite of the insurmountable challenges.
This book offers a range and scope of learning experiences for the young and the mature that lead into the levels of life rarely available in one concise volume. The fact that he has emerged from this unimaginable struggle, with his mind and soul intact, he attributes to his faith in the Angels in human form sent down to shield him from evil.
