Jacob Lipschitz was only fourteen when he had to endure
the harsh realities of World War II and the horror of the Holocaust. He lost his parents to Treblinka extermination camp, and wandered the streets of starving Warsaw Ghetto with some friends, sneaking in and out of the guarded walls, searching for any food to support his life, eventually joining Jewish fighters underground. During this desperate time, he must elude a revengeful Nazi solider who had a personal vendetta against him and unceasingly hunts him.
Jacob told his harrowing experience to Nobel nominee Shlomo Kalo when they were university students. His intelligence and resourcefulness would help him survive, showing the astonishing strength, perseverance, and spirit that many in Jewish history have exhibited. However, Jacob's choice as a young man is unexpected and this is one of the highlights of the book.
Forevermore skillfully brings to life three masterful tales of loyalty, subjugation, and strength in human history, which also include the fateful encounters between Jewish nobleman Zabir Ben Bata and Muhammad, and of Rabbi Aaron and his Polish allies who betrayed him and his community during the Cossack rebellion.
Forevermore was praised by the media, recommended by Israeli Ministry of Education and also by Shimon Peres:"An original style of writing and a look at events from an interesting perspective!".
