Eight Pieces of silk: What I could not tell my children

Today, over sixty years later, Alex can still hear those imploring words reverberating in his head. â€œAs soon as we get through with this, return to VÃ¡sÃ¡rosnamÃ©ny. Donâ€™t go anywhere else. Let us wait for each other at home,â€ his distraught father had entreated. Well, ... the SS had other plans. Eight Pieces of Silk is the touching memoir of Alex Zelczer, a keen observer and astute reporter of the daily savagery and mayhem of Nazi-controlled Hungary. From the wretched ghetto streets to the ghastly concentration camp barracks, the reader is swept along on a virtual journey to a man made Hell. Eight Pieces of Silk is a vivid description of the devilish SS brutality, faithfully yet painfully recorded for eternity. Like a lone star against an inky firmament, however, stands Kapo Schteig who dares to shout a Hebrew warning word buried among his German curses, to save the innocents from additional beatings by the Nazis. Eight Pieces of Silk is the culmination of a lifetime of observations, containing the authorâ€™s reflections on the years before, during and after the Holocaust, as well as an invaluable repository of physical, statistical and political information. Eight Pieces of Silkâ€¦.More than just a personal history, this chronicle is also that of countless others who did not survive to tell theirs.
