A moving and memorable eyewitness memoir -- a riveting and revealing read -- Sidney Zoltak's silent pledge never to forget the horror of the Shoah -- that 'every former Jewish community is an unmarked Jewish mass grave' -- must be our pledge as well. --Irwin Cotler Today Sidney Zoltak is 82 but he tells his story through the eyes of the child he was during the Shoah. From ghetto to DP camps this is a haunting tale of survival. Through luck, guile and courage Sidney survives the inferno and gives us a small bitter taste of evil mixed with the sweetness of redemption. Powerful and evocative I urge you to read My Silent Pledge. --Bernie M. Farber, ex-CEO, Canadian Jewish Congress
