My Little Blue Tattoo

"Gershon offers the reader a narrative stream of consciousness in which, with a wry sense of humor, he chronicles the formative, adolescent years he spent in Auschwitz during World War II. Ron is an alchemist, spinning and converting the surreal time, place, and events, to mundane daily rituals of survival in the limbo environment of a concentration camp. Without the dramatization that the public has come to expect in memoirs and films of the Holocaust, the author recounts the horrors and hardships-starvation. beatings, murder, the trappings-guns, dogs, barbed wire, the unimaginable loss of parent, sibling, friends, freedom, and the numbed science required for getting by, going on, accomplishing the constant and ultimate objective - living one more day. A-10490-Gershon Ron's "My Little Blue Tattoo," was the indelible stigma that both denied and defined his individual identity. It serves now as a visible, permanent marker, affirming the endurance of human life, and the triumph of the human spirit." - Sindy Becker, Fleischmanns, NYRon, Gershon is the author of 'My Little Blue Tattoo ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780977243433 and ISBN 0977243435.
