Description

When the Soviet Union invaded Iwje, Poland in September 1939, David Bakszt’s life was thrown into turmoil. His father’s business was shuttered, his family was impoverished overnight, and his tight-knit community was disbanded. Though David did not know it at the time, a similar fate had befallen many Eastern European Jews, including the Silberfarb family in Serniki, Poland. Then, the Nazis arrived. From crowded ghettos and frigid forests to the battlefields on the Eastern Front, The Shoemaker’s Son tells the true story of the Bakszts’ and Silberfarbs’ fights for survival, their struggles to rebuild in the aftermath, and the lives that they saved and lost in the process. Written by a third-generation survivor, this book provides a sober but loving account of her refugee family’s extraordinary resistance efforts against the Nazis, the survivors’ remarkable ability to embrace life amid so much death, and the indelible impact left on them and future generations.

Author Biography:

Laura Beth Bakst is a lawyer and an especially proud granddaughter. Her grandparents' experiences influenced her decision to pursue a career in law. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell University, where much of her coursework focused on anti-discrimination studies, and a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School. Laura spent years researching her family history, interviewing survivors, and writing The Shoemaker's Son so that her ancestors' heroic acts-and the horrors inflicted on them-are documented and preserved for future generations.
