It will yet be heard : a Polish rabbi's witness of the Shoah and survival

Includes both Thorne's original 1961 memoir Out of the Ashes: The Story of a Survivor and his previously unpublished accounts of his arduous postwar experiences in Germany and Poland. Rabbi Thorne young rabbi from the oil town of Schodnica, near Drohobych in Galicia composed his memoir under extraordinary conditions, confined to a small underground bunker below a Polish peasant's pigsty. A deeply religious man, Rabbi Thorne bore witness to forced labor camps, human degradation, and the murders of entire communities. And once he emerged from hiding, he grappled not only with survivor's guilt, but also with the lingering antisemitism and anti-Jewish violence in Poland even after the war ended.
