2019., Adult, John Aylen Books Call No: Bio P975m Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: As a Holocaust survivor, Aviva Ptack counts herself among the lucky ones. To see oneself as fortunate in unfortunate, even dire circumstances, takes an exceptional person and makes for an exceptional memoir. Ptack's account of her time in Lithuania after the Nazi invasion of that country has been pieced together from memories recovered many decades later and taped accounts from her adopted parents who brought her up as their own. That has been augmented by a carefully-researched historical commentary and context provided by Richard King, whose skill as a trained historian shines throughout the account. Ptack weaves a fascinating portrait of resilience, ingenuity, pluck and survival in times that brought out both the best and worst of human kind. But Aviva Ptack's work is more than a memoir. As the scene shifts to Canada and she recounts the good fortune of her life in Montreal with her husband and later children, she traces her search for identity and her need to understand how where she came from shaped who she is today. No matter the reason you pick up this book, you will be captivated and rewarded for your reading.

No other mystery writer has made a nurse (a woman) the lead character and situated the action in a hospital milieu.

A Stab at Life will delight murder mystery fans and have them waiting impatiently for the next in the series. "...he has talent, wit and Montreal." Margaret Cannon, Globe and Mail "A Stab at Life is a top-notch Montreal crime tale. When it comes to masterful storytelling, Richard is King." Andreas Kessaris, bookseller and author of The Butcher of Park Ex & Other Semi-Truthfull Tales.

Following his liberation from Auschwitz George made his way back to his home town of Szikszo, Hungary. He remained there for a few years and then made his way to Canada as part of the Orphans' Project. He arrived in Canada in 1948 with nothing in his pockets but his hands.

George started working immediately upon his arrival in Canada; his first job was at the Richstone Bakery. After working at a number of jobs which included working at the tobacco harvest on a farm in Ontario, George found his calling in the furniture business. He formed his own company, Jaymar Furniture, which became a leading manufacturer and a company which still operates successfully in Quebec. Wrestling With Life is a moving account of a child's survival under the most difficult of circumstances. It tells the story of one man's hard-won success as a businessman and an athlete who also devoted himself to philanthropy."--
