Hi, my name is Eric Sterling, and my mother and grandparents were Holocaust survivors from Germany.  My grandfather was interned in Buchenwald.  I have edited and published a book in which Holocaust survivors (such as the late Charlotte Opfermann) from Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Hungary, Shanghai, and Czechoslovakia tell their moving and poignant true stories.   These are truly powerful and amazing accounts.  There are additional chapters from Holocaust scholars such as Michael Berenbaum, Stephen Feinstein, and John K. Roth.  I’ve been reading the messages here for more than a year, and I decided that people might be interested in this book.  The book is called _Life in the Ghettos During the Holocaust_.   I list the table of contents below. Thank you very much.
