Remember Your Name

Remember Your Name

2015 winner of the B.R.A.G Medallion. While sitting in traffic heading to her great-grandfatherâ€™s eighty-fourth birthday party, Hayden asks her dad why her great-grandfather speaks the way he does. What follows is a car ride she will never forget as she learns about his difficult childhood.
From living in the Lodz ghetto at age ten to surviving the hells of Auschwitz and a death march from GÃ¶rlitz concentration camp at fifteen, Teddy Znamirowski faced unfathomable horrors, narrowly escaping death time and time again. Liberated at sixteen, he took on smuggling as a means to survive. It was not until the Bricha approached him and he became a lead operative â€“ smuggling thousands of refugees across country borders â€“ that he was finally able to begin his life again.
Teddyâ€™s story is one of survival amidst horrific circumstances. The author does not sensationalize the suffering his grandfather and his family endured, but in this work of narrative nonfiction simply recreates this remarkable manâ€™s early life during one of the darkest moments of human history.
