Brimming with the authenticity and humanity of personal experience, these memoirs are at once persuasive, moving, and universal in appeal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePacked with rarely divulged details of daily life during the Holocaust, the book provides significant insights into human nature and the roles played by chance and purpose in staying alive. It is a route of dizzying change. First, author Salsitz, an orthodox Jew, becomes a slave laborer. Then he becomes an escapee, then a partisan. In the ultimate irony, he passes as a non-Jew, working in Polish security after the war. In America, Salsitz finds that the very traits that saw him through the war enabled him to prosper in his adopted land.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNorman Salsitz\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eA Jewish Boyhood in Poland, \u003c\/i\u003e also published by Syracuse University Press. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eStanley Kaish\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of Rutgers University.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 468\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 9.48 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47359202033849,"sku":"9780815607342","price":58.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/4309\/4713\/files\/0lttN6JlrQ9780815607342.webp?v=1780577621","url":"https:\/\/thoobo.com\/products\/three-homelands-memories-of-a-jewish-life-in-poland-israel-and-america-hardcover","provider":"Thoobo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
