THOMASVILLE, Ga., Oct. 27, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Author Yocheved Artzi brings readers back to the life-scarring torments of the Holocaust in a heartfelt and touching memoir released through Xlibris, Stealing German Bread. Artzi demonstrates the strength that love provides to endure a most horrific human experience at the hands of the Nazis.
Stealing German Bread recounts the true story of two sisters jolted out of a normal life in Hungary and thrown straight into Auschwitz, the largest of the Nazi concentration and extermination camps. Beginning with a recurring dream of a mother, a dream that reappears nightly well into years after the war, this touching and heartfelt tale shares how the two sisters supported each other throughout the unspeakable atrocities inside the camp.
Artzi, who was born six years after the Holocaust, brings her personal thoughts and feelings into this book as a child who grew up in Israel among many Holocaust survivors. She reveals how her eighty-year-old mother found comfort in retelling her experience during the Nazi regime via transatlantic phone calls sixty years after the war.
Profoundly emotive, Stealing German Bread examines up close the deep-rooted reverberations that the Holocaust created on the survivors, and explores the extraordinary strengths that love can awaken in a person.

Yocheved Artzi will sign copies of Stealing German Bread at the 2009 California Library Association in Pasadena, from October 31 through November 1.
