The Egg Dealer from Nowy Wisnicz

di Steve Buchsbaum (Autore)

Boxwood Press, 2018

Against a backdrop of rival empires and shifting borders, the Buchbaum and Heller families lived in the foothills of the Carpathians mountains for centuries. Follow Steve Buchsbaum as he visits the Polish and Hungarian villages and towns where his ancestors lived and traces the details of their lives over the centuries. Follow the story of Benjamin Buchbaum, the egg dealer from Nowy Wisnicz, Poland, as he and his family create lives for themselves in New York in the 1890s. Learn about the author's attempts to ascertain what happened to his European cousins during the Nazi occupation of their towns and villages. The eye-witness testimony of his cousin Genia Klapholz provides a shocking look into the Buchbaum's home town of Nowy Wisnicz and the people living there during the time it was occupied by Nazi forces. Visit nearby Brzesko to learn about present-day efforts to memorialize the town's Jewish residents. Visit the top secret Nazi death camp called Belzec through the eyes of Rudolf Reder, a Jewish prisoner forced to work there. Train loads of Jewish people were delivered day after day to the camp and put to death immediately, including many of the Jewish people from Nowy Wisnicz and Brzesko. 50 pages.
