New Book: "My Children, My Heroes: Memoirs of a Holocaust Mother", By Sonia Minuskin, Translated and Annotated by Her Son, Harold Minuskin
This is a powerful story of survival. My mother not only saved her own life, but also the lives of her two very young children. She eluded the first roundup and slaughter of Jews in our town in Byelorussia, near the Polish border. Then she hid herself and her children to evade the German murderers when the final liquidation took place. Miraculously, she avoided capture and fled with my infant brother and me into the nearby forests of Byelorussia, where she joined up with the Jewish Partisans. My father, a Partisan fighter, participated in many battles and acts of sabotage against the Germans. We lived day-to-day for nearly three years, hunted and hungry, until our liberation by the Russian army in 1944. The book costs $23, including shipping and handling.
