Poignant Holocaust Survivor Story
Offering a unique perspective on the lessons of the Holocaust for future generations
Holocaust survivor stories need to be kept alive. Every year, survivors with unique testimonies are passing away. Soon, we will no longer be able to hear first-hand from the people who survived the Holocaust. Books and video testimonials will be the only ways to get to know their moving stories. Joseph Schupack has fulfilled a vow to those who did not survive to write his Holocaust memoirs and offer a unique perspective on the lessons of the Holocaust for future generations.
In The Dead Years, Joseph Schupack (1922- 1989) describes his life in Radzyn-Podlaski, a typical Polish shtetl from where he was transported to the concentration camps of Treblinka, Majdanek, Auschwitz, Dora / Nordhausen and Bergen-Belsen during the Second World War. We witness how he struggled to remain true to his own standards of decency and being human. Considering the premeditated and systematic humiliation and brutality, it is a miracle that he survived and came to terms with his memories.
The Dead Years is different from most Holocaust survivor stories. Not only is it a testimony of the 1930s in Poland and life in the Nazi concentration camps - it also serves as a witness statement. This Holocaust book contains a wealth of information, including the names of people and places, for researchers and those interested in WW2, or coming from Radzyn-Podlaski and surroundings. The book takes us through Joseph Schupack’s pre-war days, his work in the underground movement, and the murder of his parents, brothers, sister and friends.
˃˃˃ The Dead Years is deeply personal and moving.
We witness how people in the depths of misery shared their last morsel of food, how they were prepared for any sacrifice. There are many examples of brotherly love that grew out of empathetic pain.
Finally freed, Schupack encountered rampant anti-Semitism when he tried to reclaim his possessions in Poland after the end of the war. For the Poles in his home town, the best Jews were the ones who did not return. A new, strictly anti-Semitic organization had been founded and its primary goal was the liquidation of all Jews returning from hiding or concentration camps. Decades after WWII, the author, mentally scarred by his war experiences, confronted his demons.
“Like a stranded man among the stranded, like a sufferer bound to all sufferers, I stood alone in front of the shambles of my life which had stopped when I was seventeen years old and from which nothing could be salvaged or repaired.”
We are grateful that Schupack confided his memories to paper, so we never forget.
PROCEEDS TO YAD VASHEM Joseph Schupack wrote these memoirs in 1981, at the suggestion of his children. While cathartic, reliving these painful memories was for him a wrenching, emotional experience. The book was written as an act of remembrance and to honour the memory of his family and friends. His two sons are grateful to Liesbeth Heenk at Amsterdam Publishers for the opportunity to make their father's work available to a wider audience and wish to further the project of remembrance of the Holocaust by donating the proceeds of The Dead Years to benefit Yad Vashem's causes, to take effect from 1 July 2017.

The Dead Years Holocaust Memoirs eBook Joseph Schupack Reviews
The Dead Years is an eloquent memoir of a world wide time of deep shame and deep tragedy. A must read of great moral and historic value for every generation.
Personal story of the ravages of the holocaust , with its post holocaust implications Auschwitz, Madjanek, Bergen Belsen. Witten by a strong and courageous young survivor
I am Jewish and many of my family were killed in the holocaust. I read books such as this as a way to maybe know them. Or people like them at any cost. It all breaks my heart. But I know that none of us should forget. So I read.
to all those Jews that were slaughtered , simply because they were born Jewish. Schupak has accomplished his goal honoring those souls. I am moved and saddened beyond words. Perhaps the author's final word sums it up best, so I humbly repeat . . . Why?
A very heartbreaking and well written memoir, The author not only details the many unimaginable horrors the Nazis inflicted upon the Jews but the hatred all around them before/during and after the war, just for being Jewish. He also shows us that hate doesn't have to win. His courage and character (and others like him, despite their circumstances) are proof of that.
I have read many memoirs. Certainly more than fifty. This book will hold you spellbound. A real classic. A page turner. Worth twice the price I paid. Such an honest and heart breaking story. This hard to put down memoir is truly unforgettable. Five stars !
How this young man made it through the Holocaust is yet another testimony of the human will to fight and survive. Joseph experienced tremendous losses, including his entire family, which he shares in great detail. Joseph describes his experience, in a way that makes you feel like you are experiencing what he experienced. Its absolutely horrifying that the human race is capable of such brutality and can be so incapable of empathy and compassion for other human beings. It's really sickening. I am thankful men like Joseph found the strength to write about it so that each of us can be aware of our treatment of others and be guarded against thoughts and ideas that put us against one another. It's scared to think we may all vulnerable to such behavior.
