Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

My Roots, My Destiny, based on a profound historical investigation and the personal recollections of the author Gabriel Groszman, describes the fate of his family in the context of the history of the Central European Jews during two centuries. The narration takes us from the Jewish Enlightenment and Emancipation through the World Wars and their shattering consequences, culminating in the loss of millions of European Jews in the Holocaust. The family history, narrated through several generations, reflects the shared destiny of Austro-Hungarian and German Jewry and their achievements in spite of discrimination and open persecution leading to exile, survival or death. The story, which unfolds without resentment, takes us with irony and humor from the age of the Hapsburg Empire through the author's own coming of age in an increasingly anti-Semitic Hungary, the Nazi terror, a brief period of democracy, communist dictatorship and, finally, life in Austria under the occupation of the victorious allies. Gabriel Groszman was born in 1930 in a small Hungarian village. When he was 10 years old, his religious Jewish family moved to Budapest under the pressure of anti-Semitic laws. There he attended an Orthodox middle school until 1944, at which time Germany occupied Hungary. During the ensuing twelve months, his family struggled to elude the Nazi death trap. In 1949, they left the country, then under communist rule, for Vienna, where he began his university studies. Three years later, they emigrated to Argentina, where Groszman married, had three children, and built up a successful industrial company. In 2003, he moved with his wife to Florida. He published his book My Roots, My Destiny in Spanish in 2009, followed by the German and English translations in August and September 2011, respectively. He is now working on his second endeavor, a family saga in the context of the history of the German Jews.

In the Mountains and On the River

Repression and Survival, Two Centuries of Jewish Life in Slovakia 1830-1945

By: Gabriel Groszman

In the Mountains and On the River chronicles the history of the Slovak Jews between 1848 and 1945. It is based on an in-depth historical investigation by the author Gabriel Groszman, numerous memoirs by members of his extended families and documents obtained from historical institutes in Slovakia, Italy, Israel and the United States. The narrative takes us through the successive periods of the Habsburg Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, democratic Czechoslovakia and the fascist Slovak Republic, culminating in the destruction of Jewish life in Slovakia during the Holocaust. The multi-generational family histories reflect the shared destiny of Slovak Jewry and their achievements in spite of discrimination, followed by open persecution leading to exile, death, or in the case of a fortunate minority, survival. The stories of several families come to life through the written and verbal accounts of the survivors and descendents of people murdered during the Holocaust.

A Suitcase in the Attic: The Ascent and Demise of the Uffenheimers and Other Jewish Families in Southwest Germany 1730 1945

By: Gabriel Groszman

A Suitcase in the Attic, based on family archives and a profound historical investigation by the author Gabriel Groszman, describes the fate of several German families in the context of the history of the German Jews during two centuries. The narrative takes us from the Jewish Enlightenment and Emancipation through the World Wars and their shattering consequences, culminating in the destruction of Jewish life in Germany during the Holocaust. The family histories, narrated through several generations, reflect the shared destiny of German Jewry and their achievements in spite of discrimination followed by open persecution leading to exile, death, or in the case of a small fortunate minority, survival. Their stories come to life through letters discovered in the attic of the author's wife's stepfather after the latter's death, along with archives of descendents of other families whose fates are also chronicled in the book, and through the support of historical institutes in Israel, the United States and Germany. Gabriel Groszman was born in 1930 in a small Hungarian village. When he was 10 years old, his religious Jewish family moved to Budapest under the pressure of anti-Semitic laws. There he attended an Orthodox middle school until 1944, at which time Germany occupied Hungary. During the ensuing twelve months, his family struggled to elude the Nazi death trap. In 1949, they left the country, then under communist rule, for Vienna, where he began his university studies. Three years later, they emigrated to Argentina, where Groszman married, had three children, and built up a successful industrial company. In 2003, he moved with his wife to Florida. He published his memoir My Roots, My Destiny in Spanish in 2009, followed by the German and English translations in August and September 2011, respectively, and the Hungarian in May 2014. He published his second work, A Suitcase in the Attic, a chronicle of several families in the context of the history of German Jewry, in Spanish in 2012, in German in 2013, and in English in 2014.
