(In this autobiography of Martin Gray, you truly learn about the shining triumph of the indomitable human spirit. As he puts it himself, before he was twenty years of age, he felt like he had lived for "centuries", and here in 'For Those I Loved' he records that time as a hunting monument. Martin Gray led a pleasant life with his family in on Senatorska Street in Warsaw for fourteen years before September 1939, and from then on he and everyone else in the Jewish 'ghetto', were plunged into an endless hell of butchers, bombs, corpses and concentration camps. But in the midst of the holocaust, Martin Gray mastered the technique of survival, including that with the help of a resourceful gang of rogues, he slipped sacks of wheat into streetcars that were still circulating between Warsaw and the ghetto, right under the noses of the SS and Polish 'blues'. This smuggled food helped to keep his family alive as well as the abandoned children who emerged from the shadows with outstretched arms. You'll learn here how he escaped, and the steps that he took, until one day he passed into the American zone of Berlin, and set out for New York. In three years he made his fortune and then describes a later "ideal life" where he had to face loss yet again.)
