A Rage To Live And Chagrined

We have been awarded a 2014 B.R.A.G. Medallion. 

Our website www.tolifeink.com is now the best place for updates and current entries.

We have received some very kind words recently about the book and have had the privilege of being asked to send a print and digital copy to  Yad Veshem in Jerusalem. We also were asked to send copies to The Imperial War Museum in London, England and the US Holocaust Museum Memorial Library in Washington and others.

Dear Mr. Krygier

We would very pleased to receive an electronic copy of the book.  Please send it to library@yadvashem.org  If it is possible we'd also like a hardcopy.

Thank you for writing to us

Dr. Robert Rozett

Director of the Libraries Yad Vashem

Wow, this is incredible for Yad Vashem to request a copy.  That's the highest praise of all for your important testimony and writing.Warmest wishes, Rabbi Micah ( Rabbi Greenstein is at Temple Israel in Memphis, Tn.)

My copy has arrived, Mr. Krygier.  What a superb job you did.  As a person who has worked on the contemporaneous as well as memoiristic writings from the Lodz Ghetto for many years, I certainly congratulate you for making this valuable contribution to the literature.

Thank you and all best wishes,

Alan Adelson
