Reflections of a Troubled Journey

A memoir of the Holocaust

The online version

© 1995, 2000, Jacob Zylberman

"Reflections of a Troubled Journey" is the true to life account of a sensitive Jewish youth who was caught in the throes of World War II.  It starts with his childhood in a provincial Polish city and continues on through his adolescence in Warsaw and the early occupation of the country. He escapes to the Soviet Union, where he works in hard labor camps, from the extreme north of the Ural Mountains to the Caspian Sea and back. Then comes his dramatic return to post-war Poland, where he is confronted by the loss of his family and the search for a sole surviving brother among the ashes of the Holocaust.  Ultimately, his story is intended to serve as a testament to the strength of the human spirit, which must rise above the breakdown of civilized values caused by devastating wars if it is to survive.
