Rubin Katz was born in Ostrowiec S?wi?tokrzyskie, 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. 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$zPoland$vPersonal narratives 606 $aJewish children in the Holocaust$zPoland$zOstrowiec S?wie?tokrzyski$vBiography 606 $aEnfants juifs pendant l'Holocauste$zPologne$zOstrowiec S?wie?tokrzyski$vBiographies 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY$xPersonal Memoirs$2bisacsh 606 $aJewish children in the Holocaust$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00982706 607 $aPoland$2fast 607 $aPoland$zOstrowiec S?wie?tokrzyski$2fast 608 $aBiographies.$2fast 608 $aPersonal narratives.$2fast 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 615 0$aJewish children in the Holocaust 615 6$aEnfants juifs pendant l'Holocauste 615 7$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY$xPersonal Memoirs. 615 7$aJewish children in the Holocaust. 700 $aKatz$b Rubin$f1931-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01223500 712 02$aNational Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.
