Autoibiographies of three pre-Civil War African-American slaves."Northerners know nothing at all about Slavery. They think it is perpetual bondage only. They have no conception of the depth of degradation involved in that word; slavery; if they had; they would never cease their efforts until so horrible a system was overthrown."

What makes it even more riveting is seeing the Halocaust from a young boys point of view who left his Norman Rockwell childhood to indure horror. Filled with rich history of the times. Highly recommended.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Narrowly surviving the holocaust in the woods of PolandBy Jason R. ArbeiterKaddishel is a wonderful book that provides 1st person insight into both a less often told side of survival during the holocaust; and the author's experiences in settling of survivors in the budding state of Israel. Many books have been writen about the horrors of the concentration camps; but in Kaddishel; we learn of the different yet equally painful and often fatal challenges that Jews faced in attempting to survive against their enemies in the woods of Poland.The book follows Aharon Golub's life; from a youth in a happy and comfortable family; through surviving the holocaust by the barest of possible margins; to the founding of the state of Israel; and finally to marrying and establishing a family in America. This book; written by Aharon with support from his son and Kaddishel; Ben; is the amazing story of survival of a man who in most ways is similar to many Americans. It is a story that many of us; our parents or our neighbor's parents may have narrowly avoided; just by the fate of place and date of birth.Aharon Gobub's story should be read by everyone who has an interest in a compelling; 1st person narration of the most critical events that occurred in Europe and Israel in the middle part of the 20th century. Bravo to Aharon and Bennett Golub for the bravery and effort of retelling and publishing this story for the world to know!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A first-hand account of Jewish life in the 20th CenturyBy Midwest Book ReviewIn Kaddishel: A Life Reborn; Bennett Golub documents the personal history of his father; Aharon Golub. Bennett's purpose in doing so was to achieve a better understanding of himself and to preserve his father's experiences for the benefit of future generations. In the process; the reader is provided a first-hand account of three major historical aspects of Jewish life in the 20th Century: traditional Jewish life in a Polish town; the horrors of the Nazis occupation and holocaust; and the formation of the state of Israel. Kaddishel: A Life Reborn reveals Aharon's inner strength that even after witnessing the death of his family members; his resolve was not to rage or hate; but rather the formation of a deep conviction that the Jewish people needed their own homeland and the power to protect themselves anywhere in the world if they were to survive anti-Semitism. Aharon's personal journey eventual led him to America where he raised his own family and has his own "Kaddishel" to live on and help him tell his story. Kaddishel is a welcome and recommended contribution to the growing library of holocaust survivor memoirs and biographies.
