Reviews

Laszlo Berkowits' story is compelling, his narrative moving. . . . He does not exalt in his survival, but the reader must exalt in what Berkowits has done with his survival. He made his witness an offering and this work is testimony to the grace of the offering. -- Michael Berenbaum, director, Sigi Ziering Institute, American Jewish University Laszlo Berkowits' life, his song, and this memoir remind us that there is a path to harmony that can bind the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, Orthodoxy and Reform, even Derecske and Washington. The voice of Laszlo Berkowits, though tinged with past sadness, resonates with hope for the future. -- Paul A. Shapiro, Director, Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum This is a marvelous tale of the deepest tragedy and the slow climb back to a full, meaningful life. I've long known that Laszlo Berkowits was a marvelous man and a rather ideal rabbi but just learned here that he's a masterful story-teller. -- Ambassador Ken Adelman, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; Arms Control Director in the Reagan Administration
