Throughout the 1920s and 30s, Motek Shmulevicz lives an idyllic life among family and friends in the close-knit Polish shtetl of Maitchet. As the dark shadow of he Holocaust stretches across eastern Europe, the most unspeakable events occur, igniting a struggle for survival against all odds. It is a crucible fraught with twists and turns so unpredictable and surprising that they defy any attempt to find reason and understanding for them. "Remember Us" is a look back at the lost world of the shtetl-a wise Zayde offering prophetic and profound words to his grandson, the rich experience of Shabbos and the treasure of a loving family. Through the eyes of 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Martin Small, we learn that these priceless memories that are too painful to remember are also too painful to forget. "cover design by Josh Shayne-cover photograph courtesy of Miriam Saunders" "This is an important story that weaves together themes of family, survival and the strength of the human spirit in a very compelling manner."-ED ASNER "Martin Small's voice is empathetic and authentic not only to himself but to all the others whose fate he witnessed." -REB ZALMAN SCHACHTER "I was charmed by Martin Small's life in prewar Poland ... Then came the Holocaust. His heroic struggle ... is gripping and heart rending. These memories must live forever." -GEORGE MAXWELL, MD, "Attending Physician, Mauthausen Concentration Camp, 1945"
