Publisher info
Gihon River Press publishes books about the Holocaust. To teach about the past helps shape the future. World War II and The Holocaust have been over for more than sixty years. An entire generation must learn about the horror and destruction the Nazis rained down over an entire world. Survivors are becoming fewer with each passing day. I believe there are many stories of bravery and heroism among Holocaust survivors still to be told. It is my intention to publish memoirs and biographies by and about Holocaust survivors, specifically stories of people who saved or were saved by others, both Jews and non-Jews alike.

Miriam M. Brysk’s memory is remarkably sharp, distinguishing this memoir from many others. At 7, she and her parents escaped the Lida ghetto to join Jewish partisans in the Lipiczany Forest. Hunted by German soldiers, she experienced childhood terror that lingers with her. Her father, a surgeon, saved hundreds of lives and helped build and supervise a partisan hospital in the swamps of the forest.

Remarkable first-person story of survival in Nazi occupied Poland. Narrowly escaping the Nazi sweep in Southern Poland, Jafa Wallach and her husband, Natan, a physician, were able to send their four-year-old daughter to safety (they prayed) while they themselves—along with two of Jafa's brothers—managed to dig a shallow hole in the ground beneath
the cellar of an heroic Polish mechanic's shop.

During an economic crisis in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s an idealistic young Jewish woman involved in the labor movement in Hamburg joins with a rebellious artisan to resist Nazism, at the same time deepeing their love for humanity and each other. Drawn from the true stories of Gisa Peiper and Paul Konopka, this is a story of courage and love that thrives despite the danger.
