Title: Miracle of miracles
Description: "Forced to leave his Jewish family's fruit farm in Poland, Sam Heider, his parents, and five siblings were sent to the infamous Bialobrezgi ghetto. Later shoved onto a wagon bound for the Radom concentration camp by his own cousin, Sam tells of surviving typhus, starvation, death marches, Dr. Josef Mengele himself, and news of the gassing of his entire family at Treblinka. Transferred from Radom to Auschwitz, Vaihingen, Hessental, and Dachau, he reveals how his strong faith and many small miracles enabled his survival. He tells of his arrival in NY, the journey to Ohio, learning a new language and culture, and his eventual entrepreneurial success. As a well-known speaker of the plight of Jews during WWII, he is driven to educate people of all ages about the Holocaust. Not simply a memoir, the book is designed as a teaching tool, and contains a map, photos, glossary, and pronunciation guide." --
