I have a book for y’all. It’s a jaw-dropping memoir of a boy and his mother fleeing deportation to a Nazi death camp in WW II Slovakia. I know, not a happy subject but an amazing and exciting tale of courage, perseverance, and survival. It’s “Holocaust Memories: Annihilation and Survival in Slovakia” by Paul Davidovits.
Full disclosure: Paul was my PhD thesis advisor at Yale. He’s 87 now, retired a couple of years ago, and then wrote his memoir. He is a gifted teacher and scientist. Paul talked very little about his past so his story was shocking to me. I suspect he’s kept it bottled up till now. Whether you read it or not I just want you to know the name Professor Paul Davidovits. I’m honored and humbled to call him my friend.
