Wise men throughout the generations understood that the history of mankind was narrow in its presentation. It is not accurately reflected by a spotlight that briefly rests upon the accomplishments or disasters brought about by a few people of notoriety. The history of man is about the myriad of human beings who give birth to each generation. Because Life Is for Living is author Mel Oderberg s personal story of survival, an arduous journey through World War II. It is also a reflection of the story of many of his compatriots. His memoir begins with an unusual description of the betrayal of his beloved Polish homeland and follows his trek in the shadow of his own generation of refugees where so many perished and only a lucky few survived. He considers both the enmity and goodness of his countrymen, Russian hosts, and sometimes even German foes that made survival possible, offering his testimony to the triumph of good over evil. This life story provides a glimpse into the lives of one generation, many of whom will never be able to tell their tale. It is a tribute to the dedication of the many who have fallen. It is also a reminder that many in subsequent generations may continue to fall because of mankind s inability to reconcile its soul with its past through the recognition that history is the story of common men.
