The New York Times-bestselling incredible true story of Michael Bornstein--who at age 4 was one of the youngest children to be liberated from the Auschwitz concentration camp--and of his family

"Both moving and memorable, combining the emotional resolve of a memoir with the rhythm of a novel." --New York Times Book Review

In 1945, in a now-famous piece of World War II archival footage, four-year-old Michael Bornstein was filmed by Soviet soldiers as he was carried out of Auschwitz in his grandmother's arms. Survivors Club tells the unforgettable story of how a father's courageous wit, a mother's fierce love, and one perfectly timed illness saved his life, and how others in his family from Zarki, Poland, dodged death at the hands of the Nazis time and again with incredible deftness.

Working from his own recollections as well as extensive interviews with relatives and survivors who knew the family, Michael relates his inspirational Holocaust survival story with the help of his daughter, Debbie Bornstein Holinstat. Shocking, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting, this narrative nonfiction offers an indelible depiction of what happened to one Polish village in the wake of the WWII German invasion in 1939.

This thoroughly-researched and documented middle grade nonfiction book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.

A Philosophical Take I Didn't Expect
Format: Kindle
I heard of this book for decades. It appeared to me a fundamental piece of literature for the UFO community, which stirred my interest. Why? I needed to know what made it special. Reading this title, I discovered a philosophical view I hadn't anticipated. The author was abducted multiple times, and his family appears to have been involved. He's researched indepthly and communicated with other abductees, yet he maintains objectivity. That's particularly rare in our modern times - refreshing even. I loved what Whitley said about the visitors possibly being the first quantum experience. Before he wrote it, I said to author Sahara Foley how cool it was that Whitley implied the abduction was like bringing something into existence. I even likened it to quantum physics, stating something is both real and unreal until it it brought into existence. I'm not sure I completely buy what the author is selling, but I can agree that the visitors are more than they seem. Whatever is happening should not be ridiculed or ignored. That benefits no one and stifles true research along with healing. I think Whitley has great ideas, which should be considered - everything should be considered at this point, especially as we've found a possible link to quantum physics. I recommend this book if you are curious about anything unknown. Beyond UFOs and abductions, the message of communion is good. The historical information, the need to support people struggling with something traumatic, and the possible causes of these phenomenonal experiences are well presented. This is a great book of commentary on the human condition.

Fascinating Book
Format: Audiobook
This incredible book tells the story of people's experiences being abducted by Aliens. It includes information from many abductees, not just the author's. I have never read a book like this, and although I don't know about aliens, I believe these people experienced something horrific. Their experiences must be investigated. Bravo to the author for sharing his experiences with his readers.
