Description:
Margo Life Co Il. New.. Margo Life Co Il, 2014. New. . 2014. New.. Truth is stranger--and more incredible--than fiction, as this book attests. By age seven, Aharon Margalit had already suffered a terrible trauma which rendered him mute, and was lying in a sanitarium, completely paralyzed by polio. His mother's indomitable efforts to save him from paralysis are inspiration enough, but as the story unfolds, the inspiration mounts. This is a man who meets tragedy with perfect calm; who has fought cancer three times--and with a positive, assertive spirit that boggles the mind. .

Feldheim. New in new dust jacket.. Feldheim, 2010. New in new dust jacket. . 2010. New in new dust jacket.. 509 p. . To Remain A Jew ups the ante on what it means when we claim truth is stranger than fiction. Yitzchak Zilber was born in 1917, several months before the Russian revolution, and all he experienced most of his life was the daily inhumanity, tyranny, suppression, and cruelty of Soviet Communism. In those years it was virtually impossible to live as a Jew, and if you were caught in the act, the consequences were horrifying. .
