Here My Home Once Stood - A Holocaust Memoir

Here My Home Once Stood - A Holocaust Memoir

I got a letter last week from a good friend, Phil Shpilberg and, in an effort to help promote this amazing story and labor of love, I post this.

Dear Friends and Family,

In a week, my grandfather, Moyshe Rekhtman, will turn 80 years old. This coincides with the completion of my manuscript of his memoir, Here My Home Once Stood. For the past three years, I have passionately translated his Russian audio recordings, written and edited the story of his escape from two concentration camps and subsequent struggle to survive. As an almost blind 14-year-old, my grandfather refused to die in Nazi-occupied Ukraine, where 1.5 million other Jews perished.

I hope to publish this work soon. Until that time I would like to share excerpts of it with you via my blog

If it moves you, please subscribe to the blog and tell others who may be interested. And of course, if you can help me connect with a publisher or agent, I would be grateful.

I hope that Here My Home Once Stood can, in some small way, stop future human suffering. Any proceeds from the project will go to that end.

Thank you,
Phil Shpilberg
