By Chance Alone by Max Eisen
We celebrated our 16th year of community reading with Max Eisen's unforgettable memoir By Chance Alone. This extraordinary narrative is Max's written account of his survival of the Holocaust, including the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. We were honoured to share Max Eisen's important story with the community!
