Author Unveils Riveting Childhood Memories of the Holocaust

NEW YORK - May 20, 2013 - PRLog -- With extraordinary clarity, in an auto-biographical account of her childhood fight for survival, author Lucy Lipiner chronicles the horrific events in Europe between 1939 - 1945.  Lucy Lipiner’s story, like that of Anne Frank, paints a picture of the day to day struggles in an uncomplicated, but always warm, sometimes humorous, and necessarily heartbreaking way.  The Long Journey Home has been called a “must read” and is destined to a place of prominence in Holocaust literature.
New York, NY.  May 20, 2013 – Lucy Lipiner is not just a remarkable writer who completed undergraduate and graduate university degrees at a stage of life when many of us are thinking about retirement, she has introduced herself to the literary world as a powerful reporter of a desperate and unforgiving Europe of the 1940’s.  Her just released childhood chronicle of the Holocaust, life, and survival is both a source of hope and inspiration, and a sobering memoir.  Says Lipiner, “I speak for millions of children whose own stories could never be told.”
Lipiner’s book is a must read and will undoubtedly secure a place in the homes, schools, and libraries of everyone for whom the events of the Holocaust have meaning.   Told with extraordinary ease and simplicity, the book has the narrative appeal of an amazing story, not dissimilar to Helen Keller’s “The Story of My Life,” while simultaneously carrying the weight and impact of Elie Weisel’s “Night.”  
Reviewers are noting with near unanimity that however one interprets its message, “this is a book you cannot put down.”    
Long Journey Home, A Young Girl's Memoir of Surviving the Holocaust is available through Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and other book outlets.    
About the Author:  Lucy Lipiner was born in Poland and fled with her family at the outbreak of World War II.  Later in life, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from City University of New York and a Master's degree from New York University.  Lipiner and her husband, Edward, live in New York City.
