Late Reflections; An Anthology of Holocaust Stories
Lakewood, New Jersey: C.I.S. Publishers and Distributors, 1993. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. 188, [4] pages. Publisher's Note. Pp. 39-154 contain an account by the author and his wife Sarah of their survival of the Holocaust in Hungary. Holczler was the manager of the Jewish community's office in Budapest between 1940-43, after which he and his wife went into hiding until the liberation. In the rest of the book he relates the stories of other survivors whom he encountered in his lifelong work of assisting them to receive restitution, examines the psychological effects of the Holocaust on survivors, and presents reflections in the aftermath of the disaster. The accounts are told from the point of view of an observant Jew, emphasizing the role of religious faith in the lives of the persecuted Jews. Late Reflections is a special excerpt edition, featuring selections from the highly acclaimed Late Shadows by Moshe Holczler, the inaugural volume of The Holocaust Diaries collection. This work is far more than a straightforward memoir of the holocaust. Holczler listened to a succession of heartbreaking stories, many of which were included in his book, a compilation of deeply moving and unforgettable stories. Condition: Very good.
