Rubin Katz was born in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyskie, Poland, in 1931. This town, located in the picturesque countryside of central Poland 42 miles south of Radom, had in 1931 a population of nearly 30,000, of whom more than a third were Jews. The persistence of traditional ways of life and the importance of the local hasidic rebbe, Yechiel-Meier (Halevi) Halsztok, as well as the introduction of such modernities as bubble gum, are clearly and effectively described here. This memoir is remarkable for the ability of its author to recall so many events in detail and for the way he is able to be fair to all those caught up in the tragic dilemmas of those years. It is a major contribution to our understanding of the fate of Jews in smaller Polish towns during the Second World War and the conditions which made it possible for some of them, like Rubin, to survive.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)PolandPersonal narrativesJewish children in the HolocaustPolandOstrowiec ŚwiętokrzyskiBiographyEnfants juifs pendant l'HolocaustePologneOstrowiec ŚwiętokrzyskiBiographiesBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHYPersonal MemoirsbisacshJewish children in the Holocaustfast(OCoLC)fst00982706PolandfastPolandOstrowiec ŚwiętokrzyskifastBiographies.fastPersonal narratives.fastHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Jewish children in the HolocaustEnfants juifs pendant l'HolocausteBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHYPersonal Memoirs.Jewish children in the Holocaust.Katz Rubin1931-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1223500National Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.
