The Narrow Bridge: Beyond The Holocaust

Isaac Neuman is Rabbi Emeritus at Sinai Temple. He is a survivor of six Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, and Mauthausen. Neuman was a slave laborer for the Nazis and German munitions companies during a portion of his four years in various camps. Neuman's parents, six sisters and a younger brother all perished in the Holocaust. As a boy studying Torah, Rabbi Neuman learned to seek the spiritual lessons hidden in everyday life. Likewise, in this narrative of occupation and holocaust, he uncovers a core of human decency and spiritual strength that inhumanity, starvation, and even death failed to extinguish. Unlike many Holocaust memoirs that focus on physical suffering and endurance, "The Narrow Bridge" follows a spiritual journey. Full review
