Herb Brin

Ich Bin Ein Jude: Travels through Europe on the Edge of Savagery (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In a proud affirmation, "Ich bin ein Jude" I am a Jew -- journalist and poet Herb Brin retraces the train routes over which boxcars transported millions of Jews to their bitter fate during the Holocaust. Boarding in Istanbul in 1978, Herb travels through Greece, Yugoslavia, and Austria, then onward to Poland, where he visits the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Majdanek, seeking the sorrowful stories of the Jews who lost their lives and families. Along the way, Brin searches for links to his and his people's past. In the shtetl of Konin, where his grandfather lived, all traces of Jewish life, down to the cemetery, have been erased.
Herb Brin was well-known as a courageous journalist and publisher. But as an internationally known poet, he also built a world-wide following for his brash style and unflinching passion.
