{"product_id":"carved-in-stone-7","title":"Carved in Stone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe title of this book is taken from Primo Levi's words about survivors of the Holocaust: `The survivors are divided into two well-defined groups: those who repress their past en bloc, and those whose memory of the offence persists, as though carved in stone.' The memories of Manny Drukier are indelibly inscribed on his mind, and in \u003cem\u003eCarved in Stone\u003c\/em\u003e he recounts them with honesty and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 1939, at the age of eleven, Drukier was forced by the Nazis to leave his native city of Lódz, in Poland. His narrative, prompted by his first visit back to Poland after fifty years, begins with his childhood, follows him in and out of various hiding places and to the labour camps, and describes his day of liberation and his later emigration to North America. But this is also the story of the day-to-day life of Jews both before and during the war, providing a detailed account of Drukier's friends and family, and their love, wit, and will to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54229571502424,"sku":"9781487522841","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781487522841__67acab2088505.jpg?v=1741136011","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/carved-in-stone-7","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
