Dr. Weinberg, for many years a professor of Hebrew and Semitic languages at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, was imprisoned in Bergen-Belsen during WW2. He and his wife survived the horror of the Holocaust and rebuilt their lives in America after the war.

His book is a thoughtful, reflective, and touching memoir of his experiences during those awful years. He feels the obligation to share his experiences with others, because survivors of the Holocaust are gradually passing away, and someone must tell the world what it was like, so hopefully it will never happen again.

Weinberg's book is exceptionally well written and readable, and it has pictures and other illustrations which enhance its appeal. Anyone interested in learning more about what it was like to experience the Holocaust will enjoy this book immensely.
