Two-third of Polish Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. Thus the odds of one whole family unit - mother, father and child - surviving seems almost incredible. This is the story of such a family. Our Father's Voice, A Holocaust Memoir presents the oral history of Salomon Lederberger as he recounted it in 1981. Through taped interviews, translated and edited by his children, Salomon describes in great details his family's experiences in German-occupied Poland from 1939 until their escape to the West in 1947. It is a story of one man's courage, heroism and determination to help not only himself and his family but also his fellow Jews. Also presented is the still small voice of their mother, Tosia Lederberge, whose brief testimony does not give full credit to her courage. She survived for two years with her two-year-old daughter posing as a Catholic Pole managing to evade daily dangers of being exposed, denounced and deported. Thouroughly researched and carefully edited, this memoir offers readers another look at what it means to be human. This narrative is an important historical document in the chronical of the worst atrocities committed in the annals of human recorded history.
