FOREVERMORE: A fighting teenager in the Holocaust & two more true stories
Jacob Lipschitz was only fourteen when he had to endure the harsh realities of World War II and the horror of the Holocaust. He lost his parents to Treblinka extermination camp, and wandered the streets of starving Warsaw Ghetto with some friends, sneaking in and out of the guarded walls, searching for any food to support his life, eventually joining Jewish fighters underground. During this desperate time, he must elude a revengeful Nazi solider who had a personal vendetta against him and unceasingly hunts him.
Jacob told his harrowing experience to Nobel nominee Shlomo Kalo when they were university students. His intelligence and resourcefulness would help him survive, showing the astonishing strength, perseverance, and spirit that many in Jewish history have exhibited. However, Jacob's choice as a young man is unexpected and this is one of the highlights of the book.
Forevermore skillfully brings to life three masterful tales of loyalty, subjugation, and strength in human history, which also include the fateful encounters between Jewish nobleman Zabir Ben Bata and Muhammad, and of Rabbi Aaron and his Polish allies who betrayed him and his community during the Cossack rebellion.
Forevermore was praised by the media, recommended by Israeli Ministry of Education and also by Shimon "An original style of writing and a look at events from an interesting perspective!".

The life/times of Jacob Lipschitz.
The man has a very impressive resume.
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A fairly well written WWII Holocaust book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great WWII Holocaust movie, or better yet a mini TV series. The book was not really that well detailed, so I will only rate it at 3/5 stars.

The stories were interesting but the writing was not good. Far too often the stories were chopped up with a tangent or an aside comment.

Dull, but a bit interesting
I had a hard time getting into this book. I kept thinking that it would get more interesting, so on I read. Never really got a whole lot better.

Very hard to read
I found this not well written. Very disjointed and difficult to determine any coherent stream of thought. It seemed that there were many more than three stories.

Whet my appetite for more of Kalo
After two tales of Jewish passivity in the face of oppression, comes an account of a young Jew who participates in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising...but then denies his Jewishness.

Interesting Trilogy
This was not an enjoyable book, because stories of ethnic suffering are not enjoyable. They are informative. I found this book to be informative as seen through the eyes of its main characters.

Jewish History
This book of Jewish history stretches back to ancient times and concludes with the Holocaust and the aftermath of World War II.

Fascinating and interesting
I have read many stories of the ghetto and of those who survived and those who did not. This was definitely one of the best.
