Thank you so much; Rena and Allan; for sharing this unforgettable tale.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Suffering; hope; love and family makes this true story a must readBy Peter BunzlThis book was a very personal one for me. I had a step father who was a holocaust survivor and lost his wife and child. My mothers family was all but wiped out during the holocaust. I found "The Tailors of Tomaszow" absolutely riveting. Rena Marguiles Chernoff endured the pain and suffering no child should ever have to experience. She suffered through it all with a loving and devoted mother by her side during their internment in concentration camps. This book is a must read for everyone. The enduring spirit of love and family; suffering and hope made this book impossible to put down.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
