"A vital, understated contribution to the body of Holocaust literature."-Kirkus Reviews https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/andrea-von-treuenfeld/going-backy/ How many Jewish women do you know who moved back to post-war Germany? In this collection of survivor stories, you'll meet 16. Each of these women recounts her life story with grace and courage, even as they remember horrors of the holocaust. Stories of fleeing war and living as a refugee, of deep personal loss and of German repatriation. Some were young and fled with family, some were older and escaped on their own. They all had to start fresh somewhere, with a new language, a new environment and new people. Some had difficulty adapting to their new homes, others grew to feel at home. Where did they go? How did they live? And what drove them back? Stories of survival with the power to uplift! Click “look inside” above the book’s image at the top left side of the page. Ruth Galinski was forced to leave Germany for Poland in 1938. She learned the language, got married and ended up in the Warsaw Ghetto. When her husband didn’t return home one day, she feared the worst and fled to the Tatras with a small resistance group. After the war, she ended up back in Germany for what she thought would be a short time. Then, she met her second husband, a man famous for rebuilding the Jewish community in Berlin. Steffi Wittenberg first fled to Uruguay with her family when she was 14. There she learned Spanish and English, along with office skills that earned her a living as a foreign language secretary. She married a German Jew, who had also fled to Uruguay, and had family in Houston, Texas. They went to Houston to work for his cousin but ended up fighting with union workers and against racism. They were harassed during the McCarthy Hearings and felt like there was nowhere else to go but to East Germany. They were rejected as potential American spies! Eva Fröhlich had to leave everything behind. She went with her family to Uruguay, where she improved her Spanish skills while helping her mother earn money by making embroidered dresses. She met her future husband while visiting a cousin in Brazil. She spent decades there giving private English lessons while her husband sold this and that. After their retirement, he wanted to return to Germany, where many of his friends had gone, but she didn’t want to. Perhaps not surprising, family underscores the reason each went back. Many biographies about holocaust survivors are displays of bravery and triumph of the human spirit. Beneath the surface of these diary-like entries, we discover a compelling survival guide. And we find illuminating perspectives on Jewish history and Jewish identity. From the author: Their childhoods were spent in Berlin or Stettin, in Framersheim or Frankfurt. Happy and sheltered and believing that it would always be that way. Until, as Jews—something they weren’t even conscious of up to this point, and even if they were, then certainly not of the stigma that came with it—they were excluded. It was insidious in the beginning, but then it because more and more brutal. First it was a girlfriend who would look away without a word. Then the schools, which remained closed to them. Finally, they descended into poverty, because their fathers lost their jobs. And then the all-pervasive threat, the fear of being arrested. In the end, only fear of the unknown remained as they were deported, forced underground or were able to emigrate just in time. So why this difficult step back to a place that could never again be home after the Holocaust?

An inspiring story of exceptional goodness in the midst of extraordinary evil. In 1942, Sylvia Karwaser was only two years old when Germany invaded Belgium and extreme danger loomed at her family's doorstep. Desperate to find a safe place for their daughter to hide, Getty & Srul Karwaser's prayers were answered when their landlady, Alida Pontus, offered to take Sylvia, a Jewish child and pass her off as her Christian granddaughter. Within a few short days, Sylvia's parents were arrested and imprisoned by the Gestapo for two and a half years at Kazerne Dossin, a detention and deportation camp in Mechlen, Belgium. During this time, at tremendous personal risk to their own lives, Alida and Charles Pontus hid Sylvia and treated her with immense love and kindness. Happily, Sylvia and her parents survived the war, and after building a life rich with Jewish tradition, her family ensured that the Pontus couple were rightfully recognized as Righteous Among the Nations at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. Sylvia Karwaser Goodman, a retired French teacher who has spoken to numerous audiences about her story of survival lives in Toronto, Canada surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

Born Gerhard Fabian in Stuttgart, Germany on 11th January 1934, Garry's early years of life were spent travelling between countries to avoid persecution by the Nazis. In 1935 his family moved to Bodenback, Czechoslovakia, to avoid the ramifications of the Nuremberg Laws. With news of Germany's annexation of Czechoslovakia, Garry and his mother travelled to Trenchin in Slovakia, then to Brno in Moravia to meet his father, then finally travelled to Prague by the end of 1938. Life in Prague was difficult for his family and they were forced to live under false documents. A steady income was generated by Garry's father's 'illegal' employment as a chauffeur, and the sale of his mother's hand-made items. During this time, Garry did not attend school but received private tuition. Life was difficult, however worse was to come. In November 1942, Garry and his family were deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto, established a year earlier in order to house those considered 'undesirables' by the Nazi regime. There the Fabian family were confronted with filthy living quarters, disease infested conditions and a diet that resulted in malnutrition. Garry endured, in succession, the measles, chicken pox and whooping cough. Initially Garry wandered the camp aimlessly, but was later put to work in the tailoring shop. In time, he came to understand the culture that had developed in the camp and even gained an invaluable education provided by an elderly teacher. In May 1945, the ghetto was liberated by the Russian Army. Out of 15,000 children that entered the ghetto only 150 survived, including Garry. His parents also survived. Although luck played a large part in their survival, Garry's father was in charge of the medical supply store and was classified as 'essential'. After liberation, Garry and his family emigrated to Australia in 1947. Garry attended school and later obtained a junior technical certificate that provided him with an electrical apprenticeship for five years until 1955. In 1956, Garry enlisted in the Australian Navy for a compulsory six months. In 1958 he became engaged to Evelyn Schlesinger and took over his father's business, as his father had died that year. Over the years Garry has held many jobs whilst supporting his wife and two daughters. Fabian's autobiography details life in the Theresienstadt ghetto and his 'new life' in Australia post-war. Garry's description of a child's life in the ghetto opens an unknown world to the reader. Fabian's responsibilities and actions as an 8-11 year old in the ghetto are poignant and revealing, demonstrating how a child's life was shaped by the Nazi regime. Written in a clear and direct style, and in chronological order, this narrative presents an important account of a life deeply affected by the Holocaust, but not defeated by it.

The young Klein family, living a good but unremarkable life in Vienna, is thrust into the realization that a political hate machine threatens their existence. The Nazi regime issues an edict that all Jews must leave Austria no later than November 9, 1938, and declares that those remaining will be taken to centers for redistribution. It is beyond all human comprehension that these concentration centers will be death camps to millions upon millions of people. How can this be real? This is their home, their country how can they take the threat seriously enough to RUN FOR THEIR LIVES? The world locks its doors, shutting out the Jews. Sigmund and Annie Klein and their two small children are among the desperate hordes begging for survival. This is the true story of what happened to them: how they overcame the heartaches and hardships they endured. It is a story of the human spirit. The author relates her impressions of these darkest of times, witnessed and experienced by herfirst as a young child, then as a girl growing into womanhood, and finally in retrospect. The author states, This forced flight affected each one of us for the rest of our lives. Looking back I believe this was the path we were meant to follow. PRISMS OF LIGHT ...Reflections of Shattered Glass is an uplifting study of survival.
