Lilly's Album: Based on true story Page #2

An intense journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and terrible death. This is a powerful story of love, war, and remembrance. This unusual novel written by me, a holocaust survivor's son, is based on the trials and tribulations of my family that took place between the first and second world wars. It is a heart rendering tale of the journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and eventual death. The story is about burning love, the futility of war, and the extermination of innocent people because of different beliefs. Based on a true story, it took me three years of research and uncounted travel to Poland. It is not easy to read and is geared toward adult readers.

Emma was a physically developed young woman and was very active in sports. However, her clothes were always too big for her, and she had a masculine walk. She regularly wore a cap made of a coarse fabric that hid her young-looking face. She went to an all-girls school but did not see her future as a worker in a textile factory. She had other ambitions. She wanted to better the world, as she saw human suffering and human exploitation as the cause of all social ills.
As with the rest of her family members, she did not attribute much importance to religion. She claimed to all those who would listen to her that the time had come for the Jews to accept the customs of the Poles, dress like them, speak their language and assimilate with them. There should not be any distinction between a Polish Jew and a Polish Catholic. Religion should be considered secondary and unimportant in the eye of the law.
Emma's first attempt to cross the border into Russia failed. Her misfortune came when she was deceived by some Polish fishermen who had promised to take her across the River Bug. She paid them part of the fee and then set a place and time where to meet. However, nobody was waiting for her when she arrived at the appointed time. Afraid that the Poles would betray her to the police, she fled and ran to the closest border town. There she got on to a carriage that took her to the county town of Kielce. From Kielce, it took her two more days to finally return home.

Uri Jerzy Nachimson

Uri Jerzy Nachimson was born in Szczecin, Poland, in 1947, and two years later, his parents immigrated to Israel. In 1966 he was drafted into the Israeli army, where he served as a war photographer in the Northern Command and participated in the ‘six days war’ as a photographer in combat. His travels and adventures worldwide are recorded in the various books he has written, including Seeds of Love and Broken hearts at Boulevard Unirii. When he went back to Poland in 1990 to seek his roots, he was deeply affected by the attitude of the Poles towards the Jews both during and after World War II and decided to research the history of the Jews of Poland during that era. Thus the trilogy was born; Lilly's Album, The Polish Patriot and Identity. Uri's grandmother, Ida Friedberg, was the granddaughter of the known Jewish writer A.S. Friedberg, author of many books. In 2008, Uri relocated to Tuscany in Italy, where he lives with his wife. While in Cortona, he wrote: Two Margherita, Isabella, Into the depth of Silence, Violette & Ginger, Recalled to life, and Rembrandt for Sale. All of his books have been translated into many languages. more…
