Summary
The memoir of a Holocaust survivor keeping alive the stories of his generation。
For more than 30 years， Phillip Maisel has worked selflessly to record the harrowing stories of Holocaust survivors。
Volunteering at Melbourne's Jewish Holocaust Centre， Phillip has listened tirelessly to their memories， preserved their voices and proven， time and time again， just how healing storytelling can be。 Each testimony of survival is a miracle in itself - earning Phillip the nickname 'the Keeper of Miracles'。
But， for Phillip， confronting and overcoming trauma is also personal。 A Holocaust survivor himself， he， too， has unthinkable stories of triumph and tragedy， cruelty and hope。
Published as Phillip turns 99， this deeply moving， healing and inspiring memoir shows us the cathartic power of storytelling and reminds us never to underestimate the impact of human kindness。
'This is my responsibility and my privilege: to be custodian of their memories， to be able to pass their stories on to the next generation - for me， this will be the greatest miracle of all。'

，
A powerful yet uplifting account of an Australian-based holocaust survivor。 I've read so many survivor stories and they never fail to stop me in my tracks to consider the inhumanity and incomprehensibility of the horror。 This book is no different。 However， Mr Maisel's account is filled with an ineffable optimism throughout。 The final chapters and reflections show him to be an extremely kind and generous person with a regard for humanity that is exceptional; particularly given what he endured。 I' A powerful yet uplifting account of an Australian-based holocaust survivor。 I've read so many survivor stories and they never fail to stop me in my tracks to consider the inhumanity and incomprehensibility of the horror。 This book is no different。 However， Mr Maisel's account is filled with an ineffable optimism throughout。 The final chapters and reflections show him to be an extremely kind and generous person with a regard for humanity that is exceptional; particularly given what he endured。 I'm so pleased he recorded his account and has been instrumental in ensuring that the testimonies of so many survivors have been documented and preserved。 Thanks to NetGalley and Pan MacMillan Australia for the opportunity to read this book。 。。。more
