Description
A young boy watched his Zayda (grandfather) writing in Yiddish and drawing pictures with his fountain pen in a book that was kept hidden and secret. After his Zayda's death in 1948, the book was put away and was taken by the boy's oldest uncle in 1960 when the boy's Bubba (grandmother) died, and no one wanted to talk about the book. In 1979, Uncle Max gave the book to his youngest brother, Dave (the boy's father), and the next day, Max died suddenly. The young boy, now a married man, took the book and made it his responsibility to get it translated. Now, after more than forty years, Elliot Rosen has been able to bring the amazing story of survival and life's journey of Yisroel Ayzik Rosen (Israel Rosen) to the public. It might be HIS STORY, but it is HISTORY. It might be one man's story, but it is every immigrant's story. It is tearful, painful and depressing and yet funny, uplifting and spiritual. I feel humbled and honored to bring his story to you.
