'Through Hell to Life' by Jakob Breitowitcz, Harley's grandfather. Lots of books have been published about surviving The Holocaust, notably by Elie Wiesel, Primo Levy, Otto Dov Kulka, etc. and even in graphic form by Art Spiegelman. First written in 1946, and subsequently published in 1983, this book is less literature than testimony/documentation, and as such there are many (sometimes frustrating) gaps in time and personal record. What remains is certainly a singular personal and familial survival story, and, as noted in the afterward, it is a history to belie revisionist agendas. While reading it I also noted how the author (and by extension us) constructs a narrative, and the primacy of ego and memory in this process.
