Andre Gregory A lovely book. Truly lovely. A Chagall-like meditation on a joyful and frightening voyage through the 20th century. Without guile or pretension, Rose Choron is a marvelous storyteller. Lucy S. Dawidowicz Your book is utterly charming. I didn't know what to expect, but I was caught up almost immediately in your story. You have a great gift of narrative. I haven't quite figured out what makes it so effective perhaps it's the poetic form, perhaps it's the deceptive simplicity, perhaps it's the precision of the diction. In any case, it was a wonderful read and a lovely and loving recreation of the past. Chaim Raphael Rose Choron brings an entirely original voice-graceful, intelligent and witty-to her heart-warming tales of a colorful and talented family in its transition from the shtetel of Eastern Europe to the cosmopolitan excitements of western life. Book Description Illustrations From Small Town, My Destroyed Home, A Recollection by Issachar Ber Ryback From the Author I gave myself free rein, writing both on some of my own experiences and on the common background of family members and friends between, and around, World War I and World War II. With this in mind, I recall life in a Lithuanian shtetel; then in Berlin, Switzerland, and intermittently in other countries, including the United States and Israel. I have tried to convey the general climate and atmosphere of all these places at the time, as well as personal episodes. The stories are primarily about my own and other Jewish families migrating from the shtetel into the outside world. They tell about young people growing up under such circumstances, exposed to constant readjustments and dangers.
