From an idyllic childhood in his native Galician town, Bolechow, to the horrors of the Holocaust, to Communist Poland and finally to Palestine, author Shlomo Adler, a consummate storyteller, brings the reader into his world while reliving the events of his life. Although much of his autobiography is emotionally wrenching, Shlomo has found a way to illustrate his day to day experiences with empathy and humor. Throughout the war years, he endured one horror after another but he didn't give up and his spirit wasn't broken. This is not just another Holocaust story. This is a memoir told through the eyes of a young boy who grew to manhood during the most devastating times of his life and in human history. It is the story of the triumph of the spirit over evil; of faith lost and regained. A Jew Again is an important addition to the body of witness testimony. It is a must read for anyone interested in the Holocaust, Jewish history, the history of World War II and of the settlement of the Jews in Palestine after the war. This second edition of A Jew Again includes new material as well as many photographs that did not appear in the first edition. The march of time is silencing the survivors' voices forever. And Holocaust deniers are once again raising their voices and their fists. Especially now, A Jew Again is a profoundly important history of an era that must not be forgotten.
