Either way, I will be very happy if you order and read my book. It came “out of nowhere” after my mother died and I suddenly realized that I’m forgetting the sad war stories she told me…

“If six million Jews and three million non-Jewish Poles were killed by Germans in Poland, don’t they each deserve at least one poem, one story?” Can poetry help? Can sharing the sorrow enlighten? Read the book and judge for yourself. The pre-sale period ends on September 25, 2014.
