Alex Gross is a holocaust survivor living in Atlanta. He was born in the Carpathian mountains which then belonged to Hungary. After losing his parents in the war, Alex went briefly to Prague and then to England, where he was adopted. Eventually, he immigrated to America where he and his family became builders in Ohio and then in Georgia. In 1995, he received an Honorary Degree from Emory University. Today, he is a retired businessman living in Miami.
Having endured ultimate anguish and suffering as an adolescent in
Auschwitz, Alex Gross fulfills his duty to bear witness. He does so
with poignancy and feeling in this autobiography. It must be read
by anyone wishing to increase his or her knowledge of the tragic
and fateful event that will continue to haunt generations to
come.

Alex Gross considers himself to be a lucky man who survived the
Holocaust to build a business, a family, and a circle of friends.
Those who read this book will be drawn to his compelling story to

and triumph, has much to teach.

pale of our rational minds.
