The title of this book is taken from Primo Levi's words about
survivors of the Holocaust: `The survivors are divided into two
well-defined groups: those who repress their past en bloc, and
those whose memory of the offence persists, as though carved in
stone.' The memories of Manny Drukier are indelibly inscribed on
his mind, and in Carved in Stone he recounts them with honesty and
precision. In 1939, at the age of eleven, Drukier was forced by the
Nazis to leave his native city of Lodz, in Poland. His narrative,
prompted by his first visit back to Poland after fifty years,
begins with his childhood, follows him in and out of various hiding
places and to the labour camps, and describes his day of liberation
and his later emigration to North America. But this is also the
story of the day-to-day life of Jews both before and during the
war, providing a detailed account of Drukier's friends and family,
and their love, wit, and will to survive.
