Wolf: A Story of Hate

by Ella Scheinwald (Translator), Zeev Scheinwald

Overview

This is the true story of a young Jewish man imprisoned in corporate-owned labor camps during WWll. His name is Wolf. He was caught up in the most vicious and disgraceful mass slaughter of people in history.

His experiences during the Holocaust are relevant today, resonating with decent human beings who are concerned about morally corrupt leaders and their admiring masses, which, together with self-serving corporations, can orchestrate tragedies against their own populations.

Imagine Wolf's story was your story. The story of your child, parent, friend, loved one. How would you cope knowing you are hostage to a government and manufacturing firms rallying to destroy you?

Millions fell victim to political extremism and corporate greed and indifference. Alliances between political fanaticism and financial interests can quickly plunge societies into an abyss of exploitation and genocide. These alliances, if left unchecked, can once again create well-oiled machines of human destruction, where governments, corporations, and followers choose hate over kindness, murder over empathy, torture over love.

This is where hate led humanity, and where it can take us again if we are not vigilant.

Editorial Reviews

This book was well written and despite the tragic content....very easy to read and admire Wolf. Wolf and his strong will and courage allowed him to survive in the most horrific of circumstances. This book is a wonderful tribute to him from his loving daughter. Thank you for sharing! - Colleen

This book was suspenseful and gripping. I could not put it down. The author, Ze'ev Scheinwald, recounts his experience as jewish teenager in corporate owned labor death camps during World War II. Everyone should read this book. It is important for future generations to understand the horrors that people like Ze'ev endured during the Holocaust. - Aaron Cohen

This is a book one wants to treat with due respect. Murder and crime fiction is a popular literary genre, hollywoodized beyond any respect for human life. But the murder described in this book, or in any testimony about the Sho'ah, is not something that anyone could possibly read about for entertainment, or to kill some time a Saturday evening. In a way, this book makes it clear how careful one should be when reading about human beings that became victims of killings and exploitation during WWII. Whenever their sufferings are described as a means to inform about the dangers of totalitarian systems, it is not done to make us un-bored or interested in a plot. It is about innocence, about vulnerable people, pushed into Harm's way, and an injustice that can never be undone or repaired for the individual or society exposed to it. - Diddi
