"Being an ardent reader of the Holocaust, I never to have stopped looking for our parents in WWII biographies, Yad Vashem photos and old documentaries. I have never in my life read a more detailed account of minute by minute hourly and daily happenings so many years ago without the benefit of an extremely detailed diary. No other writer with Shlomo's details and plain explanations comes to mind, but Charles Dickens, the journalist who reported what he witnessed that same day. Shlomo's horrors did not need a diary; they remain grossly engraved in his mind, bleeding to this day." Hugo Marom, Aeronautical Engineer and Ex-Test Pilot, Tel Aviv, Israel "(Adler's) admirable forthrightness, the vigor and clarity of his mind, his deep emotionality and his immensely moving desire to make sense of the horrors that History visited upon him and his town make his narrative both unforgettable and profoundly important, at a time when the voices of so many survivors are being silenced forever." Daniel Mendelsohn, Author of "The Lost" "Mr. Adler is a born storyteller with a vivid, colorful command of language. As the content of what he tells is not invented, but stark reality, experienced by himself and supported by excellent memory, it would be a great loss were he not to record what he saw and lived through. I was most pleased when I heard that he had indeed begun to write a book. The chapters he gave me to read fulfilled all my expectation. Not only does he record events that would otherwise be lost, but he does so in a detailed, precise and stylistically satisfying manner, with gentle humor and, above all, the mature wisdom that age and distance to his horrifying experiences have given him. Mr. Adler's writing is both readable and historically accurate and, as eyewitnesses become fewer, an indispensable document to coming generations." Anatol Regnier, Author, Munich, Germany "Reading a book about the Holocaust is like reading about the sinking of the Titanic. You know the ending in advance, yet the tension of each individual story is heightened by the details of the life of the person with whom you are becoming involved as you read. "A Jew Again by Shlomo Adler is the extraordinary story of an ordinary boy transformed by the events of his life into an extraordinary person. This book, translated into English from the original Hebrew, documents the life journey of Shlomo Adler from his pampered childhood in Poland, through the tragic and tumultuous years of the Second World War to his struggle with his Jewish identity to finally his immigration to Israel and to finding himself "A Jew again." "Every detail of his life is so personally drawn, so intimately shared that it makes really fascinating reading as an autobiography in addition to the horrific and unimaginable background of the Holocaust which towers over the human story unfolding in these pages. All the characters in the book are brought to life with real empathy and supported by the photographs, give the reader an insider view of the life and times of that era. "It was an eye-opening experience to read the book and look at the elderly gentleman, my friend, and see before me a hero! Thank you, Shlomo, for that privilege." Norman Barron Kfar Saba, Israel
