Gabriel Mermall, Seeds Of Grace: The Diary of Gabriel Mermall, with an Afterword by his son Thomas
The diary relates the story of Gabor Mermelstein (Gabriel Mermall) as a slave laborer in the Hungarian military’s Labor Service, and his rescue in 1944 together with his young son. Unable to rescue his wife, who was deported to Auschwitz, Gabor hid with his son in the Ruthenian forests, aided by a poor Hungarian lumberjack, Ivan Gartner, who generously supplied them with food for more than six months and ultimately hid them in his hayloft.

Norbert Yasharoff, Reaching the Light at the End of the Tunnel
As an eleven-year-old youth, Norbert Yasharoff was forced to move with his family into the Sofia ghetto, an experience that inspired him to express himself through poetry. The family was later evicted to Pleven, and after the war they lived under communist rule in Sofia. Norbert assisted his father, an attorney, in the post-war defense of Dimitur Peshev, who had been instrumental in preventing the deportation of Bulgarian Jews to death camps. Yasharoff relates his experiences as a student and writer at Sofia University, and then of his immigration to Israel.
