Holocaust Underground

by David Weiss

"Czech Holocaust Legacy" was the full life story of my grandparents, Tibor and Sarlota Weiss.. This book, "Holocaust Underground" is the combined in-depth interviews that I did with them in 2001. This book goes far more in depth about their experience in hiding and doing Slave Labor. They discuss meeting each other while hiding in the cellar of a German doctor's farm and how/why they needed to evade not just with Hitler, but Stalin as well. They go into great detail about their lives from the very early 1900's until 1952. In addition to the interviews, there are pictures and a section about what happened to the Slovak Jewish Community. This book is unique and extremely enlightening because my grandparents were so open, honest and articulate about their experiences and about their feelings. There has been a lot written about Concentration Camp survivors, but very little about people with this particular path to survival. They went through hell and emerged as two of life's great champions. I know that my grandparents would want their story to be read by people of all backgrounds and for the lessons to be instructive for future generations. Take a trip back in time and be educated and inspired by the amazing journey of Tibor and Sarlota Weiss

Interesting tribute

Holocaust Underground is a very interesting tribute to Mr. Eric's grandparents. The story of their survival and ultimate blessed lives thereafter is well written with love, honor, and glory. I thoroughly respect these wonderful people who suffered greatly under the regime's of Hitler and Stalin.

David Weiss, tells the story of his grandparents, from stories they told him. They escaped the Holocaust by being hidden in different places. They often had no food, no sun, and had to stay in closets. In one of the hiding, the grandparents met.
