Available again for the first time in decades, this jewel of a memoir is the poignant story of a young Jewish girl growing up in a Polish farm village, from the peaceful early 1930s through the tragic war years, and finding safe harbor at last.
“In Toby Knobel Fluek’s evocatively tender yet harrowing memoir, her own vivid artwork commemorates an extinguished way of life. Fluek died in 2011, but her memoir, originally published in 1990, endures in a handsome new edition.”—The Wall Street Journal
“Deeply moving”—Elie Wiesel
“A tone poem evocative of a vanished world”—Chaim Potok
Toby Knobel Fluek (1926–2011) was born in the eastern Polish village of Czernica. In 1942, she and her family were forced by the Nazis into the nearby Brody ghetto. After her escape and years in hiding, she was married in 1949 and emigrated with her husband to New York, where she remained until her death. In 2018, The Florida Holocaust Museum added more than five hundred of Fluek’s artworks and personal items to its collection, and it continues to share her work in exhibitions and outreach programs. Fluek’s daughter, son-in-law, two grandsons and their wives, and four great-grandchildren also strive to ensure her extraordinary legacy.
