Memoirs of a Stormy Life

Book excerpt: The personal autobiography of a World War II survivor taking us from the pre-WWI days of life in the Jewish Ghettos of Poland through the horrors of Nazi invasion, and “escape” to the unbearable hardships of Soviet enslavement. A part of the history of WWII that has yet to be reported on anywhere in the annals of the Holocaust era. The complicity of the Soviets in the exploitation of the Jewish refugees who escaped the clutches of the Nazis is yet another shameful chapter in the history of barbarism in the 20th century. Harry Altman's story is an everlasting monument to the indomitable human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity.
