Our JewishGen Mall managers are pleased to let you know that the
Presentation Edition of one of the most moving chronicles of the Holocaust, "Scrolls of Testimony" by the award-winning Israeli writer Abba Kovner is available at the a very special price of $79.95 for a limited time only. Normally this book, written in the Jewish tradition of megillot or scrolls, retails for $100. More important than the advantageous price reduction is that this compelling book...this testimony of the author interwoven with eyewitness accounts of others, notes and excerpts of poetry and prose, even last wills and testaments is an almost liturgical account of the greatest tragedy to befall our people. Regarded by many as one of the great masterpieces of Holocaust literature, "Scrolls of Testimony" took over ten years to research and write. The English translation was a monumental effort accomplished by Dr. Edward Levenston, former professor of English linguistics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The haunting paintings are by Samuel Bak, who, like Kovner, is a survivor of the Vilna Ghetto. Both the Presentation Issue and the regular edition are truly treasures. Both are available now at reduced prices http://www.jewishgen.org/jewishgenmall The quickest way to find them is to click on the Browse button on the left hand side of the Mall page and scroll down to the Specially Priced section.
