An Amazing, Must Read Book
Witness for my Father is a must-read story of survival and the love of family. Barbara Bergren’s extraordinary tribute to her father provides a vivid and disturbing picture of the plight of Jews in Europe during the Holocaust and recounts a remarkable and inspiring account of hope from unexpected heroes at the conclusion of the war. The writing is so moving that it pulled at my heart and brought me to tears. This is an important book to read, and one I could not put down until the last page. I will remember the main character, Martin, and his ability to overcome his youthful trauma for years to come.
Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble,
and many independant booksellers & libraries.

He never spoke of it.
