Description
A detailed biography telling not only their story but their ancestors going back to the 19th century detailing the complicated history of Jews in Eastern Europe.

Summary
Memoirs of a Jewish couple born in Belarus and the Ukraine, as they traveled to Palestine, expelled to Poland, spending the Second World War in The Soviet Union, and coming back to Poland after the war. In 1961 they immigrated to Israel with their two children, and stayed there until their deaths.

Excerpt
Of all the rabbinical injunctions, the most enduring and distinctive is Zakhor! - Remember! We acknowledge readily enough our duties to our contemporaries; but what of our obligations to those who came before us? We talk glibly of what we owe the future - but what of our debt to the past? "The Memory Chalet" Tony Judt We cannot draw the lines between too much and too little historical research, for we have no halakhah beyond ourselves. If this be the choice, I will take my stand on the side of "too much" rather than "too little", for my terror of forgetting is greater than my terror of having too much to remember. Let the accumulated facts about the past continue to multiply. Let the flood of books and monographs grow, even if they are only read by specialists. Let unread copies lie on the shelves of many libraries, so that if some be destroyed or removed others will remain. So that those who need can find that this person did live, that those events really took place. 'ZAKHOR - Jewish History and Jewish Memory" Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi
