I see by the snailpapers that Peter Kubicek in New York is the author of one of the most important books ever written about the Holocaust..

The book, a memoir, is titled: 1000 1 Odds: Memoir of a World War 2 Childhood



I read the book in one sitting, could not put it down, I told amazon reviews:

"I read this book seven months ago and its account remains deeply embedded in my mind. It is like reading a person's diary, a person who was THERE, in nightmarish circumstances, at the young age of 14-15. He lived what he is talking about in this book. He tells much of the story of life in German concentration camps as if it were a letter to his children and grandchildren, so they may never forget this gruesome chapter of history, as lived by their own father and grandfather. A powerful account, one I could not put down once I started reading it. What Peter Kubicek lived through is beyond human imagination. His childhood photos in the book also speak deeply to the circumstances of his story. It is hard to recommend a book like this because what it describes is so awful, but I must recommend it to any student, young or old, who wants to learn and comprehend the tragedy of European Jews that happened "long ago" and yet not so long ago.

As a sometime book reviewer I feel this book should be distributed widely in libraries both public and private around the world. More than any other Holocaust memoir I read, this modest book is told in a powerful voice that goes right to the heart of the matter. It still resonates within me, seven months after first reading it."
