‎A Survivor‎

‎Detroit Michigan: Wayne State University Press 1992. Very Good condition in a Very Good dust jacket. Not a book club edition. Clean square tight and unmarked. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Illustrated with 8 pages of photos and facsimiles of passport and other identity documents. Glossary. Captivating Holocaust memoir of this concentration-camp survivor 1942-1945 including Auschwitz-Birkenau Jawischowitz Buchenwald and Theresienstadt. First printing with complete number row 54321 on the copyright page. Bound in the original white pictorial cloth. From the Dust Jacket: "When he entered Auschwitz in 1942 Moshe Garbarz was welcomed by a fellow inmate with a bitter speech. 'Tough luck be brave' he was told 'No one can do anything for you here; there's no organization everybody dies; you have three more weeks to live.' But for Garbarz those three weeks became three years. Here is his riveting story of endurance and remembrance. First published in France in 1984 A SURVIVOR documents the daily struggle of an ordinary man to live through the wrenching hell of the Nazi death camps of World War II. In this simple diary of everyday events Garbarz relives the horror and barbarism that he witnessed - the forced labor near starvation terrible beatings - helplessly watching the deaths of his friends. Told in a uniquely personal way this is an unforgettable story of beating the odds living moment by moment and surviving at all costs under the most crushing of circumstances.".
