Harry Lenga was born to a family of Chassidic Jews in Kozhnitz, Poland. The proud sons of a watchmaker, Harry and his two brothers, Mailekh and Moishe, studied their father's trade at a young age. Upon the German invasion of Poland, when the Lenga family was upended, Harry and his brothers never anticipated that the tools acquired from their father would be the key to their survival.
Under the most devastating conditions imaginable—with death always imminent—fixing watches for the Germans in the ghettos and brutal slave labor camps of occupied Poland and Austria bought their lives over and over again. From Wolanow and Starachowice to Auschwitz and Ebensee, Harry, Mailekh, and Moishe endured, bartered, worked, prayed, and lived to see liberation.
Derived from more than a decade of interviews with Harry Lenga, conducted by his own son Scott and others, The Watchmakers is Harry's heartening and unflinchingly honest first-person account of his childhood, the lessons learned from his own father, his harrowing tribulations, and his inspiring life before, during, and after the war. It is a singular and vital story, told from one generation to the next—and a profoundly moving tribute to brotherhood, fatherhood, family, and faith.
(P)2022 TantorIt is all very interesting, ‘real life’ and nothing feels exaggerated or not real. It is very factual and down to earth.
Listening to these testaments one also always picks up on things left out by Hollywood and politically correct historians, journalists and the MSM. E.g. the role of the ‘Jewish police’. And any acts of ‘kindness’ / assistance etc by German guards or soldiers or even as documented in the book by an SS guard. And ‘justice’ meted out by Jews to other Jews in the camps (what happened in the train near the end to his uncle).
It is your duty to listen to this book to better understand the true horrors of National Socialism & the Holocaust. We must never let anything like this happen again. And we all need to appreciate what happened to the Jews in Europe both before, during & after the war . . . what really happened and how bad it really was.
It's yr duty 2 listen 2 this. Also it's really VG.
