1. "From Broken Glasses" is a devastating, inspirational memoir of Steve Ross, a survivor of ten Nazi concentration camps who went on to create the New England Holocaust Memorial. Ross was eight years old when the Nazis invaded his Polish village, forcing his family to flee. He spent his next six years in a day-to-day struggle to survive the notorious camps in which he was imprisoned, Auschwitz-Birkenau and Dachau among them. When he was finally liberated, he no longer knew how old he was, he was literally starving to death and everyone in his family except for his brother had been killed. Ross learned in his darkest experiences by observing and enduring inconceivable cruelty as well as by receiving compassion from caring fellow prisoners, the human capacity to rise above even the bleakest circumstances.
