The Apprentice of Buchenwald

"The Apprentice of Buchenwald is an incredible story of courage and survival, meticulously researched and masterfully told. Oren Schneider's historically significant memoir of his grandfather is thrilling, riveting and totally unputdownable. Contemporary events make this book relevant today more than ever."

- Gilad Japhet, Founder, MyHeritage.com

"Being an inmate of a Nazi concentration camp did not stop Alexander Rosenberg. It did not stop him from doing whatever he could to keep his father alive. And it did not stop him from sabotaging the Nazi war effort by subtly tampering with the weaponry he assembled.

In telling this story, Oren Schneider does both of these things as well. He keeps his grandfather's memory alive. And he directly sabotages the efforts of those enemies of the Jewish people who deny the enormity of the Shoah, or who tell us that protection can be found in assimilation.

Read this work and hear the messages kept alive from a grandfather by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, messages as relevant for the Jewish people today as they were when Alexander Rosenberg took up arms for the creation of the State of Israel:

Be grateful for life.

Believe in what you can accomplish.

And never rely on the world for your safety."

- Elisha Wiesel, son of Marion and Elie Wiesel
