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.

Editorial reviews
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.

My only gripe is that he talked very fast at times, and I had to slow the speed down to catch what was said.
Very good! A history lesson for all!

He doesn’t mention how over 1000 years of the church teaching that the Jews killed Christ undergirded the antisemitism that went from latent to explicit.
Martin, smalls, life after being liberated from the Matthausen concentration camp was inspiring. I recommend this book to anybody that is interested in what really happened. And I defy holocaust deniers to listen to this, and continue to believe that it never happened.
The narrator was superb that needs to be said too.
One of best I’ve read/listened to on the Holocaust

This story touches you more than memoirs focusing on life & survival from ghettos or concentration camps. Detailing the rich history and absolute joy of growing up in a Polish Shtetl, Michael weaves a thorough map of the depth of community that was lost in the Holocaust.
What hit me the hardest is that this story continues beyond the liberation of camps, continuing into the reconstruction of Michael’s life, the continued anti-semitism around the world, the life of hundreds of thousands of refugees with no country willing to take them in. You don’t hear about this in many books. You’re liberated, *Congratulations* and Everyone lives happily ever after. They don’t talk about the recurring trauma and nightmares, the true effect of living through absolute hell.
This is a remarkable book I finally feel like I’m hearing the entire story.
I’m finally hearing the entire story of WW2. A Must Read.
