Opis

This is the story of Rabbi Mika Weiss, who loved the human spirit and continuously risked his own life to save others. He wanted to become a Rabbi from his childhood despite the persecution of the Jews and university professors who continually insulted him. He became the youngest Rabbi in Hungary only to be thrust into the holocaust and its death camps. Here he rose above brutal torture to encourage his fellow Jews to stay alive. After liberation, he became the Chief Rabbi of Debrecen only to find himself again struggling to save lives during the Communist era and Hungarian Revolution. Finally escaping Hungary, he went on to become Chief Rabbi of Finland where he discovered the magnificent history of the brave Finns. He finally moved his family to the US where he became a beloved Rabbi on both the East and West Coasts. This book is based on the Rabbi's prolific sense of detail for people and events and provides insight into the behavior of people during the worst crimes of the century.
