DESCRIPTION:
Remnants of Inhumanity When I began to read this true tale of loss and loyalty, I felt the heartache of a man named Herman Chimowicz who survived the holocaust and returned home without his wife and nine-year-old daughter. I got caught in the story because a wife was assumed dead, and a daughter was not.During the years after the war while he half heartedly began the process of repairing his life, Herman questioned returned prisoners of the concentration camp in an effort to hear news of his daughter and got none. Herman still refused to have his daughter declared dead.In the author's desperate attempt to find her biological sister, Walk . "Walk Forward- Recorded Family History" according to Sharon L.. Walk Forward is recorded family history by Rosa. For that, she is to be commended. She is honoring her family by writing this book.As far as the writing style, Ms. Raskin gets repetitive often, re-telling stories in the same words throughout the book. It is not a book or writing that would win an A in a writing class but that is not important. Telling her history is.Well done and honorable Ms Raskin. Personal Account of the Holocaust C. Balcher I couldn't put the book down! It is a very moving personal account of the Holocaust and how it affected the author's family, her father who survived, her mother who married in the saddest of circumstances, and her half-sister who the author never met. The account is very detailed and is a lesson of survival. The author wrote this book in the hopes that her sister might hear of it and that they may eventually meet.
Rosie's mother, Louise, pictured on the cover, was not in the Holocaust, but enabled her survivor husband and post-war family to "walk forward." The purpose of the narrative is to continue to uncover information about her lost sister, and all the children that remain missing, or perished in the Holocaust.. Hidden secrets are discovered by a member of the second generation in her fifty year search for her sister, Eugenia Chimowicz, lost in the Holocaust. The true story includes scenes from her family's four years in captivity, and events in the lives of her Christian relatives before and after the Holocaust. The theme of the book is the importance of family, no matter the time or the place. Jewish family members are caught in a hellish spider's web as the "last 500." As pawns in the chess game between Hitler's assistants, they survive the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz, Stutthof, the burning city of Dresden, Germany, and are released from concentration camp Theresienstadt (Terezin) on May 9, 1945. Born in Germany after the Holocaust, Rosie remembers the Displaced Persons' camp on her journey to the United States, as a three-year-old refugee on the troop carrier, the USS General William C. Langfitt
