I Never Saw My Face Hardcover - 2001

by Samuel Goetz


From the publisher

This wise and honest account is a moving testament to the resiliency of the human spirit. In lucidly eloquent prose that resonates with quiet power, Samuel Goetz reminds us that we must never forget one of the greatest crimes against humanity. As the Nazis tighten their stranglehold on the Jewish ghetto in Tarnow, a young Polish boy gathers the courage, cunning and resiliency he will need to survive.Sam Goetz is only eleven when he begins a harrowing odyssey. An innocent but perceptive child, he is perplexed by the seeming passivity with which the adults in his world accept the restrictions imposed by their oppressors. Even as his family struggles to sustain a semblance of normality, he witnesses brutality in the streets of the ghetto and begins to understand the sinister reason for the disappearance of neighbors and relatives. After he watches the departing train that will transport his parents to certain death, he sublimates his despair and fear to a steely determination to survive.

First line

In the summer of 1985 I decided to revisit my hometown of Tarnow in Poland, forty-two years after I left the city on the way to a Nazi concentration camp.

Clean, unmarked pages. *Autographed by author.* <br> "Samuel Goetz was 14 when the Nazis rounded up Jews in his hometown of Tarnow, Poland, and killed thousands of them, his parents included, in the gas chambers at Belzec in southeast Poland. A few months later, he too was forced out of Tarnow and into the first of several Nazi labor camps in Eastern Europe. 'I thought often about how I'm going to die,' he recalled in a 1999 CNN interview, 'whether it's going to be a bullet, would it hurt. I really did not know.' Instead, he was among the survivors.
