Preface of Prof. Shevach Weiss How can one describe the power of the Holocaust and imagine the systematic and barbaric destruction of six Million of our people? It is difficult, maybe even impossible! The survival itself acts as witness; therefore putting in writing the memories of that period are important for the future generations. In his memoirs Meir Deutsch describes a family, whose father was taken to an extermination camp, and the mother, a courageous woman, managed to navigate in impossible ways and with daily struggle, to save herself and her three children. Among other things Meir Deutsch describes the township where his father was born, Mattersdorf, which was a well known Jewish community and one of the "Seven Kehilot". The author describes the German nation, as seen by him according to her history. The story goes on beyond that period, meeting the Jewish Brigade, his arrival to Palestine still under British Mandate and founding a family in a country he witnessed its birth, are an integral part of the book and are the side of rebirth. This documentation is important beyond the monument for his family, and it reflects to a wider scope. Prof. Shevach Weiss Chairman of the Council of Yad Vashem, Jerusalem
