Recollections of a Holocaust Survivor Guided and Saved by Angels

Henry Glick’s memoirs recount the story of a young teenager on a journey for survival at the outbreak of the Second World War. Born in the small Polish town of Sniatyn in the 1920s, Henry Glick was one of ten children in a typical, local Jewish family. Just as he is about to enter high school, the Second World War breaks out, disrupting his normal life and changing it forever - this is the story of his survival. Writing his memoirs shortly after his retirement in New York City, he worked carefully and conscientiously on the manuscript for several years. What results is an unique and authentic memoir, expressing, in a very direct and personal way, the trajectory of an individual life caught in the violent and turbulent vortex of the Second World War. This book allows us to experience one of the world’s most tragic events as seen through the eyes of one ordinary man whose response to his experience reveals someone extraordinary.
