<p>In Yankele: A Holocaust Survivor's Bittersweet Memoir, Alex (Yankele) Gross tells the tale of his life as a Hungarian boy amidst the turmoil of World War II Europe. Beginning with his childhood in the village of Palanok, Alex recalls happy memories nestled in the bosom of family and friends. His peaceful existence was shortly disrupted when his community is rounded up and placed in a ghetto and subsequently deported to Auschwitz. Here Alex vividly depicts the horror of his imprisonment at the camp, his forced march to Gleiwitz, and his ride on the flat car to Buchenwald - a journey that has been similarly immortalized by Elie Wiesel's Night. After he was liberated, Alex was free to reunite with his surviving siblings in Prague, but also had to face all of the difficulties inherent in beginning a new life. After moving to England, where he begins his practical education under the guidance of his adoptive family, Alex finally makes his way to America where he becomes successful business and family man. Tragedy soon follows, however, with the loss of his teenage son and the murder of his first wife. In spite of this, Yankele endures as a story of happiness, revealing the depths of faith, courage and honor of this modern-day Job.</p>

The "at last it can be told" story of the Sixties by the one person capable of writing it. Effortlessly moving in its first-person narrative from London's rock scene to Berlin's student radicals to Amsterdam's practical pranksters to a whole range of American causes and crises, the author provides the definitive answer to a soon-to-be-disgraced vice-president's claim that all the national movements of the Sixties were guided by an international conspiracy-"to the extent that there was any such plot, it was probably me." It is three books in one. Combining elements of spy story and time-travel adventure, it is finally a responsible history of a remarkable era. This book explains once and for all how hope was born, struggled against all odds, and ultimately prevailed during the Sixties, only to be forgotten by later generations. And how such hope can be rekindled again today. During the Sixties the author wrote for and occasionally edited major underground newspapers in London, New York, Berlin, and Amsterdam. He was also the principal founder of the Art Workers Coalition, a group of radical artists who demonstrated in New York and elsewhere. Almost all of "The Untold Sixties" was written during the mid-Seventies, when these events were still fresh in the author's mind, bringing the reader remarkably close to reliving the Sixties in all their intensity. "Alex is a reporter. His attentive eyewitness account is a basic document by a trained and knowledgeable observer. At the same time, he was a partisan, and his writing is relentlessly personal. The reader really feels it...”it” being the texture of cultural politics, the sizzle of social change...a book like this is of inestimable value in opening the locked dusty doors of our useful pasts." Alan W. Moore ABC No Rio
