Produktbeschreibung
The engine that powered this book was from Irene's personal experiences as a child who survived the WW II - Holocaust. Irene's story continuously evolves in a variety of places and adds mystery to this adventure. She and her husband joined a Canadian Elder Treck tour. They undertake a fantastic adventure trip on challenging roads that very few westerners had experienced. They traveled on the Silk Road, Karakoram Highway the highest paved road through Pakistan, Kyrgyztan, and Kashgar China and eventually reaching Uzbekistan the destination where her parents and sister died. After 52 years, Irene's desire was to visit and find her parents' and little sister burial place in Andijan Uzbekistan. She lived in hardship but in a friendly Muslim Uzbek environment. In 1998, she continued her search to resolve her feelings of longing to dedicate her parent's and her little sister's death. Irene's strength is survival.

Autorenporträt
Born in Warsaw, Irene and her family escaped from the Nazis in 1939 to Soviet Ukraine and later to Uzbekistan. Irene's memoir chronicles growing up during these troubled times and her life after the war. She tragically lost her parents and little sister. Her teenage sister saved her from illness. Eventually, she spent several years in Uzbekistan and in Polish orphanages before immigrating to Israel where, while in the army, she studied nursing. In 1959, she traveled on a nursing exchange visa to New York where she worked as a surgical nurse. She got married, started a family, moved to Berea, Ohio, and finally settled in Northbrook, Illinois. She is blessed with four children and nine grandchildren. Irene's wish is peace and justice for all. She continues to dedicate her life to that goal.
