Hello,
My parent's memoirs just came out: Kuzmino Chronicles:Memoirs of teenage
Holocaust Survival.
I believe the book is very educational for the general public and would make
excellent reading material for young adults in particular. Below is the link
for those who are interested.

Kuzmino Chronicles Memoirs of Teenage Holocaust SurvivalAuthored by Nathan C.
Moskowitz MD PhD
Leib and Gittel Moskowitz were both born and raised in Kuzmino, a small town in
Transcarpathia, in what was then Czechoslovakia. As children they hardly knew
each other. In May 1944 when they were both fifteen years old, they and their
families were herded off to Auschwitz in cattle cars. From there, their paths
temporarily diverged. Each was transported to a separate series of
concentration and labor camps. Both miraculously survived their ordeals and
after liberation spent many years waiting to come to the USA. Leib spent this
time in a Displaced Persons camp in Germany while Gittel spent these same years
in the United Kingdom. Their separate life trajectories re-converged when they
both settled in New York where they became reacquainted, married and raised a
family.
This book chronicles Leib's and Gittel's turbulent Holocaust saga in their own
words. Historical documentation is juxtaposed alongside their memoirs, as well
as corroboratory documents obtained from the International Tracing Services
(ITS) collection held by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM),
Yad Vashem, and numerous other sources. Photographs are also included to
further corroborate their very clear and precise recollections.
This book hopes to honor the many family members and countless of individual
souls recollected by Leib and Gittel. Their memoirs not only testify to the
ordeals suffered by these victims, but also shed light on the fate suffered by
millions of martyred Jews, and of those fortunate enough to have survived.
