He evocatively portrays the harrowing and traumatic unfolding of history, but also lingers on poignant moments of love, bravery, generosity and humor.Davidovits’ stories are unique and finely honed, and while highly personal, their vivid depiction of survival and the determination of the human spirit – even in the face of barbarity and seemingly insurmountable odds – is universal and will remain relevant to every generation.This Holocaust memoir began with an album of photographs, one of the few family possessions that survived WWII.
