Book Description
My Opa is the diary of Rabbi Dr. Isaac Rosenberg, who lived from 1860 until 1940. This diary provides a glimpse into German Jewish life nearly twenty years before its ultimate destruction.

By means of daily entries spanning the years of 1911 to 1920, the momentous events of the Great War are described. Rabbi Rosenberg provides an incisive commentary on the military and political aspects of the war. His predictions of what was to come had an uncanny prescience. My Opa is Dr. Fred Gottlieb's compilation and translation of the original volumes that comprised some 500 pages of tightly-spaced notes in German, Hebrew, Yiddish, shorthand, and Latin.

Pages : 138
Book Description
The odds were against Hubert Bruns making it to age 80, but he did. Incredible luck prevailed throughout his life. As a youngster, he absconded with a bobsled and raced it down the mountain. As a teenager, he looked down through cracks in some scaffolding straight at Hitler without being shot. At 18 as a German soldier, he left the Front only hours before the Russians counter-attacked late in 1941. At 21, as a veteran, he was buried alive and almost died in Munich. Less dramatic happenings followed, but his luck continued. Two university degrees were acquired and Canadian immigration approved him for citizenship without delay. At 65, he survived a stroke and slowly regained the ability to think, talk and write. Quite a life. Quite a story.
