Her Triumphant Story Urges All to Remember the Survivors and the Millions Lost

Cleveland, OH, July 8, 2009 — Over 6 million Jews were murdered during the horrific events of the Holocaust. In the new release “Remember Me” (published by iUniverse), Holocaust survivor Marian Kampinski shares the nightmare of events she endured. In this valuable addition to Holocaust literature, Marian’s distinct voice details her journey of suffering, tragedy, loss, but most importantly, survival.

Three months after the Nazis marched down the streets of her town in Poland, Marian Kampinski turned 14 years old. Her carefree childhood was destroyed and she was thrust into adulthood by circumstances no human should ever have to endure. She spent the rest of her adolescence hunted by the Third Reich. She was confined in the Lodz ghetto, transported to Auschwitz where she lost her brother, and then sent to Stutthof where she endured a typhus epidemic, an extreme winter, inhuman living conditions, starvation, and beatings. “Remember Me” details milestones of heroic strength and resilience and the odds-defying miracle of surviving with both her sister and mother.

To read “Remember Me” is to experience the Holocaust firsthand through the eyes of a young girl with her world and freedom taken from her. Readers will look into the face of inhumanity and see that love and faith can overcome the most powerful of all evils. Ultimately, to read Marian’s story is to remember, to recall those who survived and the millions who did not. She writes:

“Nightly, you could hear the cries and the screams. They would come from somewhere further away, muted but still piercing. I still remember hearing them as I tried to sleep and the feeling of hollowness, of emptiness, powerlessness, of disbelieving what I was hearing. It was in my consciousness then, my awareness. Now, in my subconscious, these disembodied screams live with me. They sounded like they were coming from another world but they were coming from this world. I have never heard anything like them since.”
