About this listen
Remember Us is a look back at the lost world of the shtetl: a wise Zayde offering prophetic and profound words to his grandson, the rich experience of Shabbos, and the treasure of a loving family. All this is torn apart with the arrival of the Holocaust, beginning a crucible fraught with twists and turns so unpredictable and surprising that they defy any attempt to find reason within them. From work camps to the partisans of the Nowogrudek forests, from the Mauthausen concentration camp to life as a displaced person in Italy, and from fighting the Egyptian army in a tiny Israeli kibbutz in 1948 to starting a new life in a new world in New York, this book encompasses the mythical "hero's journey" in very real historical events. Through the eyes of 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Martin Small, we learn that these priceless memories that are too painful to remember are also too painful to forget.

Martin Small’s breathtaking autobiography, written with assistance from Vic Shayne, follows him from a happy Jewish childhood through the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps, and all the way into the modern day.
Peter Altschuler’s performance of this truly moving audiobook is characterized by his level tone and gruff but comforting voice, the perfect lens through which to experience Small’s rich and deeply affecting memories. This audiobook is made especially interesting as a memoir by Small’s choice to focus as much on life in the shtetl and in New York after World War II as he does on the grim realities of the Holocaust, suggesting that we would do well to remember the good alongside the bad, always.

Unbelievable story
I have read a lot of holocaust survivor books, and this was the best. The back story of his life in Poland and was eye opening and a beautiful tribute to his family.
