About the author
Abraham Weinreich was born in Poland in 1932. During the Holocaust, he was an eight-year-old boy who was occupied with surviving instead of going to school and making friends. Abraham's story is extraordinary, and in some parts, almost unbelievable. After hiding in delusional places and overcoming atrocities, he managed to survive, as he had promised his father.
In 1947 Abraham migrated to Israel, and in 1955 he met his future wife. Together they have three children, five grandchildren and four great-granddaughters. The feeling that he has no one in the world, that he is an orphan, and his entire family perished in the Holocaust, on Polish soil, pushed Abraham to prove himself and not expect anything from anyone. All his searches for relatives failed, intensified his orphanhood, pushed his memories deep inside and motivated him.

Abraham became fearless in the forests of Poland. Despite everything he went through, he remained optimistic, strong and willing to do anything to survive.
A few years ago, when diabetes began to take over his body, Abraham faced difficult moments, but he stays determined, and he is always looking ahead and finding a reason to keep going. Despite his illness, he feels obligated to stay sharp, remember every detail and share his stories with anyone willing to hear. The disease has taken away his ability to walk and see, yet Abraham continues to set an example by his heroism and spirit. Abraham published three books in Hebrew; he writes poems, paints and does woodcrafts. This book is the first collection of stories translated into English.
My parents.
My parents.
Hershel, my father, was born in 1902 to Isaac and Rochale Weinreich; he was the fifth and youngest child after two boys and two girls. The family was wealthy; they owned land in which they grew grain and wheat. my father grew up in Szaniec, a village in south-central Poland. He studied quite far from the village and had to ride a horse to school every morning. Hershel had an exceptional ear for music and learned to play the harmonica and trumpet. He was an excellent musician, and he would play during the village dances. He was a good friend and a good man.
As Hershel grew up, Grandpa Isaac sent him to a boarding school in Krakow, where he studied music and came home only once a week. These studies cost a lot of money, but fortunately, this wasn't a problem for the family. When he finished his studies, Hershel returned to the village. Grandpa Isaac counted on Hershel to work in the family business, and Hershel didn’t disappoint his father and worked with him for two years.
Following this period, my father and one of his good friends decided to enlist in the Polish army together. They knew how to ride horses and take care of them; therefore, the cavalry recruited them to its forces. After training, my father's commander proposed that he take an officers' course, which he did. Hershel served as a cavalry officer for the rest of his military service.
