New York, N.Y. Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 1990. First Edition [stated]. Hardcover. Format is 7.5 inches by 8.75 inches. [10], 110, [6] pages. Illustrated with 94 paintings (some in color) and drawings. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, To Ronnie & Dave Hirschberg, With best wishes, Toby Knobel Fluek. Includes Acknowledgments, and chapters on My Family at Work; Preparations for the Sabbath; The Holidays; Our Neighbors; The Russian Occupation; The German Occupation, and Liberation. This jewel of a memoir--told in Toby Fluek's own moving and beautiful paintings and drawings and her equally moving text--is the 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. Scene by scene, person by person, Toby Fluek unfurls a unique view of Jewish life. She introduces us to her village, to her family, to the people among whom they lived, Jewish and Catholic; she shows us what they did, how they fared, how customs and holidays were observed--and, with both feeling and restraint, illustrates how this long-enduring way of life was disrupted and shattered by World War II. She takes her family through Russian occupation, through the devastation wreaked by the Nazis and, finally, to a new beginning in America. After the war, Fluek and her mother were sent to multiple displaced persons (DP) camps, eventually making their way to Bad Wörishofen where Fluek's mother was treated in the DP hospital while the pair waited to immigrate to the United States. Fluek met and married her husband, Abraham, in the DP camp before relocating to the Bronx, New York, in December 1949. More

Foreword by Elie Wiesel. Arnold Forster was an American Jewish leader, lawyer and writer who was a longtime executive of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Werth. Associated with the Anti-Defamation League for nearly six decades, Mr. Forster was its general counsel from 1946 to 2003. He helped document and combat myriad forms of anti-Semitism in the United States and overseas. His books, many of which began as league reports, include “The Trouble-Makers” (Doubleday, 1952), “ and “The New Anti-Semitism” (McGraw-Hill, 1974), all written with Benjamin R. Epstein. Mr. Forster was also the author of a memoir, “Square One”, which has a foreword by Elie Wiesel. Mr. Forster wrote the screenplays of several documentary films including “The Avenue of the Just”, about Gentiles who saved Jews during the Holocaust, and “Zubin and the I.P.O.”, about Zubin Mehta, the music director of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Mr. Forster recounted his decades-long campaign against bigotry. Reviewing the memoir in The New York Times Book Review, Marlene Sanders called it “an earnest chronicle of the useful life of a dedicated man.” Ms. Sanders continued: “The work of Mr. Forster and the league over the years has contributed to eliminating many institutionalized forms of prejudice.” She added, “We may not be back to ‘Square One’ in solving the problem, but this book is a reminder that there is still work to be done.”.
