"I miss Manny already. I finished his harrowing memoir yesterday, and now I'm sad. Manny told his story in such a warm and winning way, I felt part of the family. From his charmed early life with his nuclear family, to the gates of Nazi hell, his love for his surviving father and brother never falters. His story is captivating. - CarolAnne Bills I thought this book was an incredible account of a courageous and tenacious young man's survival through six long years of barbarity. That he survived was little short of a miracle but even more amazing was that his father and brother survived too. I particularly enjoyed reading how he picked up the bits in 1945 and not only made his way in life but also tried to show his gratitude to the country that had taken him in. - Carole Molyneux This is an absolutely wonderful story of life during the Holocaust if ""wonderful"" is a word that could be used in conjunction with this terrible event. I've read quite a few books on this topic yet still have trouble believing how cruel human beings can be to one another. This book really brought home to me the horrible things that were done to so many people during WWII. - Micky R This book challenges everyone, as the events told are so excruciatingly painful and horrible. It speaks to us as we read it, telling us not to forget, never to take tyranny and ideologies filled with hatred as something to get used to.- Diddi This is a wonderful book. Profoundly moving, following a life and lives subjected to such unimaginable suffering, inflicted through the darkest irrationalities that humans can sink to; and yet ultimately it's a tale of the triumph of the human spirit over evil.- Biblioph88"

Author Information

Hersh Mendel (Manny) Steinberg (1925-2015) was born in Radom (Poland). Although Manny Steinberg spent his early years in German camps and never attended school past the 3rd grade, he managed to always support his family while providing a foundation of strength and love. ""Outcry - Holocaust Memoirs,"" Manny's compelling life story, has captured the miracle of one man's determined will to survive. ""I live for my wife, children, grandchildren and now my great-grandchildren."" ""When the German soldiers killed everyone I loved, I knew my purpose was to not merely exist but to live."" ""Not a day goes by that I do not think of my childhood or family, but as long as I'm allowed to be here on earth, I will wake up every day feeling fortunate and blessed."" Manny attributed his tenacity in pursuing his book publication to his wife of over 60 years: ""Without the support of Mimi, it would have been very difficult to write my story.""
