註釋The stories of Jewish Holocaust survivors are all the same and at the same time all unique and thrilling. This is the story of two World War II Polish Jew survivors, Michal Kilsztajn from Bendin and Chana Libman from Mezritsh. Michal spent the War in Lager, Nazi German Forced Labor and Concentration Camps; and Chana was deported with her mother and siblings to Siberia. Among the statistics that hide personal tragedies, almost all the large families of Michal and Chana, which were living in Poland for centuries, were exterminated during World War II. Besides my parents’ memories I carry with me, I immersed in the vast literature of the Holocaust and had also the opportunity and joy, through my research, to find unknown but quite close relatives scattered to the four corners of the World. The active participation of many relatives, unknown until then, was yet decisive for the reconstruction of the family history’s puzzle. In this sense, these memories were collectively produced by several family members. One information here, another there, and, suddenly, everything started to come to life (and unfortunately suffering and death). These memories are a tribute to my parents and to the vanished Jewish World from Central and Eastern Europe. They collect documents, photographs and stories of private and family interest; and were written with continuous back and forth among the memories of the survivors and their direct descendants; and between these memories and the documents found in Civil Records, museums and other institutions for the preservation of the memory of the Holocaust.
