That's How I Found Her: My Grandfather's Holocaust Journey

By Jessica Kaplan

Poland, September 1939. The author's grandfather, then eighteen-year-old Kalman Sztajer, witnesses a group of Nazi soldiers drag his partially dressed neighbors into the street and shoot them in broad daylight. From that moment forward, Kalman does whatever he can to protect his family. He escapes to Russia but, fearing for his family's safety, risks a return to Nazi-occupied Poland. His journey continues as he faces a Nazi raid at his wedding, poses as a non-Jewish communist in Buchenwald, and rides a bicycle across war-torn Europe to reunite with his young wife.

A proud and committed Jew whose unswerving optimism propelled him through the Holocaust and beyond, Kalman served as a role model to his granddaughter and their entire family. Kalman's story of hope remains an inspiration.
