Beyond Survival:A Holocaust Memoir

p>ldquo;I am a Jew. Between 1933 and 1945 I lived in Germany, the country of my birth, with the many who perished and with the few who survived the Holocaust.rdquo;/p> p>With these bald statements Ken Arkwright commences the story of his life. There havenbsp;been countless stories written by and about Holocaust survivors, and each one has its ownnbsp;perspective, each being a witness statement, an eye-witness account ndash; and each deservesnbsp;to be told.br />This book has the interesting provenance of having first been published in German,nbsp;where it aroused considerable interest. Now Hybrid Publishers is proud to release a revisednbsp;and updated English edition, with fascinating material about Arkwrightrsquo;s life and times.br />For decades the author resisted telling his story. As he comments, ldquo;Many years ofnbsp;reflecting on these events had to take place to make me feel the need to write about thisbr />journey.rdquo; He feels an urgency to tell his story, as otherwise his unique life experiences andnbsp;the life stories of some of the people he met and who have perished in the Holocaust will dienbsp;with him.br />Now in his ninetieth year, Ken Arkwright writes with clarity and in great detail ndash; andnbsp;with a remarkable lack of bitterness ndash; about the progress of his life through the Greatbr />Depression, the rise of the Nazis, and the Second World War.br />It is indeed a story beyond survival./p>
