We Fought Like Lions is coming to Washington, DC. in the USHMM store and a book signing event in Spring 2017!

Hey. It’s been a busy week. BIG NEWS! The US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC will be carrying “We Fought Like Lions” in their store and has invited me for a book signing in the Spring of 2017! I am uber excited! Had a great review in the Jewish Link of NJ by Robert Isler “Polish Holocaust Story by Fair Lawn Native Dispels Myths.” Sales continue to grow. Amazon average review of 4.9 stars! More big announcements to come. I need your help to get the book out there and mainstream. So read the book, rate it, review it (esp. on Amazon and Goodreads), blog it and share it. I wrote the book in my grandfather’s grammar i.e. “mine parents.” It’s going to evoke memories of the voices of your parents and grandparents. PM me to speak in schools, synagogues, book clubs or events. Have a meaningful Tisha B’Av on Sunday.

Isaac Kadetsky's (1854-1891) hebrew name was Azriel Yeshaya!

Google has lead me to an unexpected find. I google Sam Kadets and found this link http://web.mit.edu/justom/Public/Erica/QuincyDisplay-to-press.pdf
In the tiny print about the now closed Beth Israel Synagogue in Quincy Massachusetts is a list of yahrzeits that were memorialized on plaques in the Beth Israel sanctuary, including Sam and Jennie Kadets, Isaac (1854-1891) and Dora Kadetsky' oldest son. Amazingly their death info has been a mystery to me. But this gets a little crazy since this records that Samuel Kadets's hebrew name was Shmuel the son of Azriel Yeshaya. Meaning that Isaac Kadetsky's hebrew name was Azriel Yeshaya. This adds further evidence that Isaac Kadetsky (1854-1891) is in fact the son of Szmul Kadecki from Biezun who died before his only child was born in 1853. Szmul's brother, was Eliasz Kadecki. Eliasz Kadecki's first born son was Shaya Aziel Kadecki, my grandpa Charlie's grandfather. My grandfather's hebrew name was also Shaya Aziel!
