{"product_id":"shadows-of-treblinka","title":"Shadows of Treblinka","description":"      Unique and compelling, this husband-and-wife memoir of the Holocaust\u003cbr\u003e         will move and inform generations. As we lose eyewitnesses to this ultimate\u003cbr\u003e         horror, the Kuperhands present us with an elegantly restrained, yet hard-hitting,\u003cbr\u003e         Kaddish to Polish Jewry.\u003cbr\u003e       Miriam was the daughter of a prosperous furrier; Saul was the son of\u003cbr\u003e         a poor shoemaker. Miriam was sixteen when she and her brother roamed the\u003cbr\u003e         wild countryside of Poland, searching for food and shelter--and for their\u003cbr\u003e         parents. Saul was only a few years older when he watched the smoke rising\u003cbr\u003e         from the crematoria and knew that his parents, sister, and eight brothers\u003cbr\u003e         were gone forever. Miriam lived by hiding; Saul lived by escaping from\u003cbr\u003e         the camp.\u003cbr\u003e       The authors emphasize the essential role that Polish Christians played\u003cbr\u003e         in their survival and stress that wit, courage, faith, luck, and even\u003cbr\u003e         a strong will to live were worthless without their help.\u003cbr\u003e       The travail of their survival is wrenching yet comforting, tragic yet\u003cbr\u003e         upbeat, cinematic yet intimate. \u003ci\u003eShadows of Treblinka\u003c\/i\u003e will haunt\u003cbr\u003e         and inspire its readers.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54263235445080,"sku":"9780252023392","price":42.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/shadows-of-treblinka","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
