Shadows of TreblinkaAuthor(s): Miriam Kuperhand, Saul Kuperhand\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: University of Illinois Press, United States\nImprint: University of Illinois Press\nISBN-13: 9780252023392, 978-0252023392\nSynopsis\n Unique and compelling, this husband-and-wife memoir of the Holocaust\nwill move and inform generations. As we lose eyewitnesses to this ultimate\nhorror, the Kuperhands present us with an elegantly restrained, yet hard-hitting,\nKaddish to Polish Jewry.\nMiriam was the daughter of a prosperous furrier; Saul was the son of\na poor shoemaker. Miriam was sixteen when she and her brother roamed the\nwild countryside of Poland, searching for food and shelter--and for their\nparents. Saul was only a few years older when he watched the smoke rising\nfrom the crematoria and knew that his parents, sister, and eight brothers\nwere gone forever. Miriam lived by hiding; Saul lived by escaping from\nthe camp.\nThe authors emphasize the essential role that Polish Christian.
