Memoirs of a Jewish Holocaust survivor born in 1926 in Vişeu de Sus, Romania, as Naftali Tessler, into the Hasidic family of Salomon and Esther Tessler, who relates his life story, including his ordeal during the Holocaust. Tessler was deported in May 1944, together with his parents and eight brothers and sisters to Auschwitz. From Auschwitz he was transferred, together with his father and two of his brothers, to Warsaw to do slave labor. From Warsaw they were transferred to Dachau and its branch camp Waldlager, in the area of Mühldorf. In April 1945 he was liberated in the area of Munich, by the USA army. Only his father and two of his brothers survived the war. In September 1947 he emigrated to the United States and eventually settled in Chicago. The memoirs relate to religious life of Orthodox Jews in the Nazi concentration camps.
