Book Title: Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry Volume 33: Jewish Religious Life in Poland since 1750

Author: François Guesnet, Antony Polonsky, Ada Rapoport-Albert, Marcin Wodziński (editors)

Selection Statement:

This book includes a scholarly study that contains references to interviews of my Saba (“grandfather” in Hebrew). Ozer Grundman, who grew up in a Hasidic home in Poland, spoke about maintaining his religious faith through nine Nazi concentration camps. His belief in God remained intact until he was liberated at Buchenwald by the U.S. Army. May my Saba’s memory be a blessing.
