🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“Zaidy’s War: Four Armies, Three Continents, Two Brothers” written by the author Martin Bodek is one Man’s Impossible Story of Endurance. This book is about the survival of Martin’s grandfather Zaidy during years of wars. Zaidy was born on Dec 17, 1918. He was named Benzion, son of Zion. Benzion’s name was his destiny. Zaidy knew he loved learning and only war could interrupt it.

In late 1939, Zaidy was 21 years old. He was called for duty with the Romanian Armed Forces for a term
of one year but Zaidy’s service was canceled before the year completed and he was sent home. Then he was called to serve in the Hungarian Forced Labor Service System.

The Hungarian army abused him for his Jewishness. Read this book to know more about Zaidy’s life as he served different armies like the German army, the Soviet army, etc. Martin sat with Zaidy to record his story when Martin’s wife Naomi was working as a chef’s class assistant. He has transcribed the tape recordings in this book and it was interesting to read them.

I binge read this book. It’s written well and is worth reading. I appreciate the remarkable resilience of Zaidy. This book teaches us to be resilient in life. The pictures, documents, letters, etc that the author has attached at the end made me feel more connected to the story.
