Here is "a tone poem evocative of a vanished world" (Chaim Potok), "the nearly thousand-year-old life of the village Jews of Eastern Europe--God-imbued, profound in its simplicity--at the very hour of its murderous destruction by Nazi terror" (Cynthia Ozick), acclaimed by Elie Wiesel as "deeply moving" and by New York Woman as "Anne Frank with pictures."

Scene by scene, person by person, artist Toby Knobel Fluek lovingly unfurls a unique view of Jewish life. She introduces us to her village, to her family, to the people among whom they lived, Jewish and Catholic; she shows us what they did, how they fared, how Jewish customs and holidays were observed--and, with both feeling and restraint, illustrates how this long-enduring way of life was disrupted and shattered by World War II. She takes her family through Russian occupation, through the devastation wreaked by the Nazis and, finally, to a new beginning in America.
