Reviews
Dr. Kenneth Price's book Separated Together is not only the story of a miraculous reunion, but this testimony itself has something of the miraculous about it. September 1939: Sonia's husband Abe was stranded in New York, while she and her two children were left in Poland, to be swept up in the horrific whirlwind that was the Holocaust. Somehow Sonia was resurrected from the ashen earth of Auschwitz. Somehow she was able to embrace her husband Abe once more. Somehow the two of them made a new life in America - but without their murdered children. Dr. Price relates this powerful tale with insight and eloquence, in all of its pathos and drama. It is sure to transform you. Dr. David Patterson, Hillel A. Feinberg Distinguished Chair in Holocaust Studies, Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies, University of Texas at Dallas Kenneth Price's book, Separated Together, is a great accomplishment in the realm of Holocaust chronicles. It gives a deep insight into the enmity against the Jews as well as their brutal mass murder, their suffering, their humiliation, and their deepest despair. Yet it also reflects their attempts at survival and the survivors' search for a new existence after the war. This is an important book in the world of the Literature of the Holocaust. Dr. Zsuzsanna Ozsvath, Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies, Leah and Paul Lewis Chair in Holocaust Studies Professor Emeritus, The University of Texas at Dallas, Author of When the Danube Ran Red (2010) and My Journey Home: Life after the Holocaust (2019) Separated Together is a powerful work about survival and renewal whose narrative spans generations and is sure to inspire new generations in the 21st century who need to learn the bitter and inspiring lessons of the Shoah. Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Simon Wiesenthal Center, Los Angeles Ken Price, a creative and scholarly clinical psychologist, has produced an uncommonly thoughtful chronicle of two people's debasement by but ultimate victory over murderous Nazi oppression. It's a true story that reads like a novel. It's inspiring as well as sobering - inspiring because it shows what the human spirit can overcome; sobering because it is a cautionary tale of what the Jews have been subjected to for thousands of years and of what, like other oppressed groups, they are at risk for today and into the future. This beautifully written book is uplifting even as it is frightening. Price has written something notable. Dr. Gerald C. Davison, Professor of Psychology, University of Southern California, Los Angeles I'm sure this is a labor of love, it shows. This is a compelling personal story whose intimate look at the human costs and triumphs of the transitions of history tells the story of people losing a world and finding a new one. Beyond a story of the Holocaust, it explores the way that people lived and the way that they rebuilt their lives. Daniel Greenfield, Shillman Fellow at David Horowitz Freedom Center Just finally finished your book and WOW!!! Terrific work, it knocked me out, told me much I didn't know historically which was the greatest pleasure for me, lots of fascinating historical stuff and such a truly wonderful tribute to Gloria and family. Very, very impressed and really knocked out by it all. Kind of wiped me out in the best way possible. Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment, really well done!
