In his autobiography The Odyssey of An Apple Thief, Moishe Rozenbaumas takes us
through his fascinating life, starting with his boyhood in pre-war Lithuania,
with a focus on the most impoverished part of the Jewish population, rarely
accounted for in the books written by survivors after the war.



"A fascinating read that portrays life in Telz, the vibrant Jewish shtetl or
market town that was also a famous Yeshiva center."—Robert Shapiro, professor of
Judaic studies at Brooklyn College, CUNY



"With an enchanting eye for detail, Moishe Rosenbaumas tells a lesser known
story out of the Holocaust: escape to Russia from Lithuania, heroic service in
the Red Army, hair-raising escape from the Soviet Union and successful
resettlement in France. His is a fresh and unique voice and his book deserves
recognition as a literary masterpiece in the library of Jewish memoir literature
of the twentieth century."—David Biale, Emanuel Ringelblum Distinguished
Professor, University of California, Davis



"A riveting story of a resilient survivor who underwent the most harrowing
experiences during the time of World War II and its aftermath, never lost
courage, always exhibited saving resourcefulness, and emerged from it all to
build a good life for himself and his family. This is far from a run-of-the-mill
memoir about the horrors of the Holocaust, and it will be a real gift to
American readers."—Robert Alter, Emeritus Professor of Hebrew and Comparative
Literature at the University of California, Berkeley



"[An] incredibly gripping memoir."—Elaine Margolin, The Jerusalem Post



"[A] remarkably compelling read."—Tablet Magazine
