Shalom, Schoen Books is honored to announce reprinting of the Survivor Book published by the US Government in Germany under the guidance of Rabbi Abraham Klausner.
The book presents lists of Jewish survivors of concentration camps in the American and English zones of Germany and Austria, as a necessary and valued resource. Describing the importance in his book "Rekindling the Flame:American Jewish Chaplains and the Survivors of European Jewry 1944-1948" Alex Grobman writes the following: "Klausner realized how urgently survivors needed to be reunited with relatives and he conceived a plan to help facilitate such reunions. His idea was to compile and publish volumes containing systematic exhaustive lists of survivors and distribute these volumes throughout the world."
