Holocaust memoirs of a survivor saved by Schindler. Dr. White was 14 when the German invaded Poland and began their reign of terror. His father's last words as they were taking him to the gas chambers were to be a Mensch, which is Yiddish for "a special, ideal human a person endowed with the finest attributes by Our Creator, including charity, kindness, tolerance, honesty and love of mankind." This is his memoir of trying to do that. He immigrated to Chicago after the War ended and became a successful doctor and medical school professor.
