With G-d at My Side: A Child's Story of Survival

By Menachem Taiblum and Cyndie Meyer

Book Overview

"I wrote this book so you would remember. I will not be here to speak to you this story forever. Don't let the lessons from this evil fade away. Remember. Remember. Remember " This book by Menachem Taiblum, with Cyndie Meyer, is first and foremost a Holocaust memoir. It's also an eye-opening historical document, offering a different perspective as well as details of facts, incidents, and situations that aren't covered by concentration camp survivors. And as a thrilling inspirational memoir, it illustrates how a boy of eleven through fifteen years of age is able to escape the Nazis, finding the courage and resilience to survive on his own. Taiblum's extraordinary story begins before the war, describing the period of growing anti-Semitism before the Nazi invasion of Poland. It extends into the war's aftermath, portraying the utter chaos through which the survivors must struggle to rebuild their shattered lives. Providing a range of responses to both the Nazis and Jewish people from Polish nationals, this book serves as a powerful cautionary tale about bigotry and prejudice. But even as it conveys the overriding evil of the times, it also highlights the sustaining oases of compassion through which G-d's work is done.
