The Boy From Block 66: A WW2 Survival Novel Based on a True Story

by Limor Regev

We were free but captive to the terrible sights we had witnessed, which would accompany us all our lives.

I realized that the only way I could preserve the memory of my childhood home - my father and brother, and now my mother as well - was to keep alive the embers in whose light I had initially grown up. I went back to praying in the mornings, going to synagogue on Saturdays and holidays, and believing in the importance of keeping the commandments. I felt I was coming home.

It was there I saw how the good in man defeats the evil, and how one person’s courage can affect the fate of hundreds of children.
