Summary
Of the approximately 15,000 children imprisoned in the Nazi concentration camp of Térézin (Theresienstadt) near Prague, less than 100 survived. Gidon Lev is one of those children. Gidon's is the story of a little boy who never really grew up. His life spans the horrors of the Holocaust, the beginnings of a fledgling country, two marriages, six children, and a late-in-life romance that made the telling of his story more than possible but also imperative during these tumultuous times. The True Adventures of Gidon Lev offers a primer on Jewish and Israeli history, insights into the culture of the modern state of Israel, and the inspiration to carry on after hardship and loss. From Prague to New York to California and back to Israel again, Gidon Lev and Julie Gray take us on a journey into the depths and back up into the sunshine of hope, love, laughter, and possibilities--back cover
