Set against the harrowing backdrop of the Holocaust, the book charts the tumultuous journey of Siggi, a young Jewish boy who witnessed the horrors of human cruelty and emerged to tell his tale. As American teens enjoyed their youth in ice cream parlours, Siggi faced brutal beatings at the hands of Nazi hoodlums, solely for being Jewish. This harrowing ordeal escalated when he and his family were deported to Auschwitz, the darkest place imaginable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSiggi's survival in the concentration camps was a testament to his resourcefulness and indomitable spirit, as he cleverly pretended to possess trade skills that were valuable to the Nazis. His journey through two grueling death marches and near starvation finally ended with his liberation from the Mauthausen camp. Post-liberation, Siggi's bravery led him to serve the US Army in their quest to hunt down Nazi war criminals, a service that earned him a cherished visa to America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUpon arriving in the United States, Siggi made three vows: to never go hungry again, to support the Jewish community, and to fight against injustice. Starting with shovelling snow after a fierce blizzard to earn his first dollar, he then endured the gruelling conditions of toxic sweatshops. Despite the challenges, Siggi's relentless determination saw him rise to become the President, Chairman, and CEO of an oil company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

She was born in Kiev into a childhood of poverty, hunger, and antisemitism. When she was five, her father left to find work in America, and a year later the family settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a teenager, she became devoted to Labour Zionism, giving street-corner speeches, and her family’s home became a destination for Zionist emissaries. Her love for Labour Zionism was so fervent that her boyfriend, Morris Meyerson (her future husband), was often in competition with her dedication to the cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZionism prevailed. In 1921, Golda left America for Palestine with Morris and her sister Sheyna. Though the reality of living in Palestine was far from the dream of Zionism, Meir settled on the kibbutz Merhavia and was swiftly appointed to the Histadrut (the General Organization of Hebrew Workers in Palestine). As an ally of the Zionist David Ben-Gurion, Meir played an important role in the Yishuv, the pre-state Jewish community in Palestine; proved an almost singular ability to connect and fundraise with diaspora Jewry, particularly Americans; and served in three pivotal positions following Israel’s independence: labour secretary of the newly formed state, foreign minister, and Israel’s fourth prime minister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn tracing the life of Golda Meir, acclaimed author Deborah E. Lipstadt explores the history of the Yishuv and Jewish state from the 1920s through the 1973 Yom Kippur War, all while highlighting the contradictions and complexities of a person who was only the third woman to serve as a head of state in the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855782400236,"sku":"9780300253511","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24532853482294.jpg?v=1759276859"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/deborah-e-lipstadt.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
