witness: A Story of Survival and Triumph

By mendel tessler

This is a unique and informative story of an innocent young Orthodox Jewish teenager whose life was transformed by the Holocaust. It begins with a warm and charming description of life in a small shtetl in Romania. As the storm clouds gather, the Tessler family is moved out of its home and into the ghetto, and soon afterwards transported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where the author, Mendel Tessler, is separated from his entire family. Mendel chronicles life in the concentration camps and all the inhumane horrors he witnesses and survives with a gripping and excruciating honesty. With determination and courage, Mendel manages not only to survive, but also to rebuild, as he offers us a glimpse of life in America after the War. This authentic memoir is unparalleled in its riveting insight and in its attention to intimate detail. It is told in a frank and direct manner with a matter-of-fact dignity. Mendel Tessler's story is one of unshakeable faith, courage, and optimism against all odds and leaves his readers with an ultimate legacy of hope and inspiration.
