Description:"How to Hunt a Bear did what the best of history books can do and opened a new part of history to me. I, like many, know the basics of the story of the Holocaust, and some stray details gleaned from moments of more specific research. I knew nothing of a flight east, and I soon found myself caught up in Itzhak’s story. It’s a harrowing tale, softened only because it is told through the eyes of a child, remembered by an old man... The framing of the book features an Israeli woman recording Itzhak’s story. As she says toward the end, in the narration, “I listened to my recording… thinking how crucial documenting their stories was, along with the stories of all survivors. Within a decade, or two at most, there would be no survivors left, and these recordings a precious relic.” While there are plenty of novels about the Holocaust – one might say it’s its own market – there is only so much they can tell. True stories will always be more powerful, by virtue of their truth. If anything, I would say that stories like this, which shed light on parts of history few people are aware of, are the most precious relics. If it weren’t for people like Shiri-Horowitz and her family, this story might all too easily have been lost. In short, I would recommend this book to just about everyone. It’s one of the most important I’ve come across this year"5 / 5 Manhattan Book Review“In all the commotion, I noticed Shimon packing his pocketknife, which accompanied him wherever he went. ‘Those Nazis, I hate them,’ he mumbled. ‘Nobody is going to come near us, and if they do, I don’t even know what I’ll do to them.’ That’s what my strong, brave, brother said, so it’s no wonder I admire him. When I’m with him, nothing bad can happen to me.”This excerpt expresses how seven-year-old Ichu feels, as his family is expelled by the Nazis from their village in Poland, and exiled across the Russian border, where their unbelievable journey through the Soviet Union begins.How to Hunt a Bear is a historical novel that follows the life of a Jewish family from 1939, just as the Nazis enter their village, and changes the fate of its residents forever.The Hauzer family’s story is told from three perspectives: Eighty-seven years old Itzhak, who lives in a nursing home in Jerusalem, who seeks to document his family story; young Itzhak (Ichu), who is seven years old at the beginning of the war; and Maya, a family history genealogist, whose life is forever altered by the gripping story of the Hauzer family.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
