Somewhere There Is Still a Sun: A Memoir of the Holocaust

Resilience shines throughout Michael Gruenbaumâ€™s â€œriveting memoirâ€ (Publishers Weekly, starred review) about his time in the Terezin concentration camp during the Holocaust, in this National Jewish Book award finalist and Parents Choice Gold Medal Awardâ€“winning title, an ideal companion to the bestselling Boy on the Wooden Box.

Michael â€œMishaâ€ Gruenbaum enjoyed a carefree childhood playing games and taking walks through Prague with his beloved father. All of that changed forever when the Nazis invaded Prague. The Gruenbaum family was forced to move into the Jewish Ghetto in Prague. Then, after a devastating loss, Michael, his mother and sister were deported to the Terezin concentration camp.

At Terezin, Misha roomed with forty other boys who became like brothers to him. Life in Terezin was a bizarre, surreal balanceâ€”some days were filled with friendship and soccer matches, while others brought mortal terror as the boys waited to hear the names on each new list of who was being sent â€œto the East.â€

Those trains were going to Auschwitz. When the day came that his familyâ€™s name appeared on a transport list, their survival called for a miracleâ€”one that tied Michaelâ€™s fate to a carefully sewn teddy bear, and to his motherâ€™s unshakeable determination to keep her children safe.

Collaborating with acclaimed author Todd Hasak-Lowy, Michael Gruenbaum shares his inspiring story of hope in an unforgettable memoir that recreates his experiences with stunning immediacy. Michaelâ€™s story, and the many original documents and photos included alongside it, offer an essential contribution to Holocaust literature.
