This is a deeply personal account told through the memories of a child. Readers will never forget the powerful & loving bond between these two brothers. This memoir becomes an inspiring & thoughtful experience for any reader willing to consider both the constructive & the destructive capacities of humankind. This is a story both poignant & triumphant as Joil recounts how he survived the Holocaust with an unmistakable optimism that ultimately brought him to the prairies of Canada.
