Tibor and Sarlota Weiss met while hiding in a German doctor’s cellar during the Holocaust. It was not, however, a soap opera-style romance. The times were tough…but the people were tougher. These two amazing Survivors, my grandparents, did a long, detailed interview about their early lives, their journey through the horrible years of the Holocaust and then on to rebuilding their lives. Marriage and and family life (the birth of their one son) signaled a good start at revival. Unfortunately, their homeland of Czechoslovakia was being taken over by communists. First they escaped Hitler, now Stalin was approaching. Once again, they were left with no good options but decided to quickly move to Israel. This was another very challenging three year pit stop. From there, they joined Sarlota’s only surviving sibling and moved to the United States.

The honesty, introspection and thoughfulness displayed during these interviews will amaze the reader. These were two incredible individuals who were also life’s quintessential winners. This journey will enlighten, inspire and educate readers of all backgrounds. Get ready to jump back in time and engage with the best and worst parts of the human spirit. $3.25 on Kindle.

Tibor and Sarlota Weiss met during the Holocaust while hiding in a closet in rural Slovakia. Upon liberation they got married, started a family and then had to escape communism by moving to Israel. From there, it was off to their final destination….The United States. This books charts the whole-life journey of these incredible people in this “Survive and Thrive” book written by their grandson, David Weiss. Sarlota was born in 1906 and Tibor was born in 1915, just miles apart in present day Slovakia. Life was certainly not supposed to turn out the way it did. After normal, happy childhood years and into early adulthood, life was setting up as it should. Then Hitler came to power and the world was turned upside down. Tibor became a slave laborer and eventually needed to go into hiding. Sarlota was hid throughout the war and even had to escape from a deportation center which has a train ready and bound for Auschwitz. Only 17% of Slovak Jews survived. Somehow, Tibor and Sarlota were two of the few Survivors. After meeting while living in the same closet for five months, Tibor and Sarlota got married. They were happy to have each other, but deeply saddened that almost all of their family members had not survived. In 1947 there son was born and in 1949 they were told to leave Czechoslovakia or face a very rough future under communism. They spent the next three years in Israel as Tibor helped the Israeli Defense Force build and rebuild airplanes for military use. Then Sarlota brought the family to the United States so she could be near her only surviving sister (out of eight children). They made a new life and blazed a new trail in the United States. Readers will be amazed at how these two Survivor’s began their life in small town Slovakia, the horrors they lived through, how they survived and the people they became. Their grandson brings Tibor and Sarlota to life in this touching, inspiring book that readers have been raving about. While these two Survivor’s are no longer with us, they both lived very long lives and built a legacy that will be alive for many, many years to come. Fans of inspirational books, history, the Holocaust and triumphs of the human spirit will fall in love with “Czech Mates: Holocaust Legacy” $4.99 on Kindle.

This is the story of Jack and Genia Grinbaum. This book isn’t just a re-telling of their Holocaust experiences. It isn’t simply an appeal to remember the six million. While the incredible stories of their survival are detailed in this book and it is a reminder of the horrifying atrocities committed by the Nazi’s, “The Everyday Remember” is about the spirit that carries on. We can Honor this Legacy as a part of our everyday life, the principles we live by and the values we promote. Jack and Genia survived years of torture and cruelty. When liberated, they still had to fear for their lives as Displaced Persons with no homeland to return to. They had nothing, not a single possession except the clothes they were wearing. As Jack and Genia tried to move on they were getting final confirmation of the deaths of their parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. They moved forward with nothing except the skills they had from the old country, profound sadness and a fighting spirit to not just survive, but to thrive. There were physical and psychological hardships that would follow them but there was also an elegant charm that they would carry through life and pass along to family, friends and everyone else that they would encounter. $4.99 on Kindle.

“The heart wants what it wants,” so you have no choice, right? Wrong. Race Cumming’s latest book, Love is a Choice: Finding Love and Building a Legacy, proves that you do have a choice when it comes to love. His book is an in-your-face look at approaching courtship, love, and building a legacy with the same care and planning that you would take to build your professional career. Beginning with the concept of “falling” in love and the aura of powerlessness that comes along with, Mr. Cummings explores the roles that self-exploration and self-preparation play in realizing what choices are available to reach that ultimate goal: marriage, lasting love, and an enduring family legacy. Free on Kindle. 

Wouldn’t life be easier if we were given a manual on the human condition, an operating guide to human emotions including some sound, thought-out advice? If I were to die tomorrow, what would I leave to help and guide others? Could I reflect on my life and that of others in order to help my children and society? Wisdom for My Son and Daughter started as a small ‘life guide’, fuelled by the author’s inspiration to write down what he had learned in life – his wisdom – so that it could be more easily passed on to his children (and in time to their children). He hoped it would help them navigate the complexities of life a little more skillfully. But what started as an idea to help his own children evolved into a life guide for anyone interested in living a better life. The book discusses many of the flaws and limitations that are part and parcel of being emotional beings. It draws on the author’s own life struggles and a broad knowledge base to give easily understandable analogies. It is more than just a book; it is a roadmap for life. The author is to the point and covers a diverse set of modern-day issues in a warm, conversational style. A perfect little gift for yourself or someone you know. It’s not just young adults that will reap invaluable insights from this book, but any individual looking for greater clarity about life and how to live it. $0.99 on Kindle.
