Page 5 I dedicate this book to the following, very important people to me: First and foremost, to my best friend, my wonderful wife Edith, who will forever have a special place in my life. Her love and caring have constantly tried to compensate for the emotional trauma resulting from my Holocaust experience and cradled me especially during the emotionally difficult process of compiling this manuscript. To my brother Natan who acted as a surrogate parent when our real parents were gone; who tried valiantly to shield me from Nazi evil on an ongoing basisoften at considerable risk to his own life. Above all to my very young sister Bronka who was made to suffer so cruelly before she was allowed to die. At times when I had no strength or desire to go on, her last outcry echoed in my ears: "You must stay alive to tell the world...." This was her final message to me. This book is intended to do just that. Bronka's command, more than anything else, inspired this book. This mis sion fulfilled, I can depart this world in peace. Finally, let me also mention here Major Timothy Brennan who was in command of the American unit that liberated me and Natan on May 6, 1945, in Ebensee, Austria, only a day or two before we would have surely expired. His unit's timely intervention made this book possible. The major's name and whereabouts came to my attention only recently, thanks to Dr. Seymour Siegler of the Brookdale Holocaust Center. My wife Edith and I, along with my friend Victor Dorman (another Ebensee survivor) and his wife Ellen, a Holocaust victim in her own right, met Major Brennan and his charming wife Vera for the first time on May 4, 1992, at Brookdale College in Lincroft, New Jersey. The meeting was ar ranged by Dr. Siegler.
