"This book was born when we four-childhood friends from our school days-realized that each of us had different
and unique memories of growing up in pre-Holocaust Berlin.
We wanted to share these stories not only with our families
and friends, but with others.
In so doing, we honor our parents and acknowledge
the distinctive ways in which they coped with overwhelming
circumstances. Their efforts and their courage made it
possible for us to survive.
We also remember our sometimes miraculous
escapes, our subsequent adventures, and the challenges
of adapting to a new culture and a foreign language.
We even discovered occasional joy in the process.
We cherish our lasting friendship and look forward to what
the future still has to offer.
LE CHAYIM ! TO LIFE !"
