The Azrieli Foundation established the Sustaining Memories Project to help survivors write their stories. A unique partnership between survivors and volunteer writing partners who were trained to work with Holocaust survivors on recording and transcribing their stories, volunteers spent countless hours on these testimonies. The strength of the bonds that form when a volunteer and a survivor create a memoir, of the emotional challenges that a survivor faces in the telling and the understanding, and the insight that the listener experiences were all part of an incredible journey. Excerpts of these co-written memoirs, never before published, are produced in this anthology to give readers a wide range of understanding of the varieties of experiences of Holocaust survivors. Sustaining Memories gives voice to Canadian Jews who suffered through ghettos, camps, hiding, fighting in the underground, as refugees in foreign countries or passing as non-Jews in daily fear of betrayal. Following their liberation, survivors often had to congregate in displaced persons camps, where many married, had children and waited years for countries to offer them new homes. Some would end up in the detention camps of Cyprus on their way to pre-state Israel; others found themselves locked behind the Iron Curtain for decades. Between 1946 and the 1980s, they all built new lives in Canada.

In this anthology, twenty-five women reflect on their experiences of survival - from the heart-stopping fears of hiding to the drastic risks of "passing" as non-Jews, and from the terrors of the Nazi camps to the treacheries of the Soviet Union. Each unique account is woven together by a common thread: women resisted and, ultimately, triumphed against the brutalities they faced during the Holocaust. The first-ever anthology published by the Azrieli Foundation, this powerful collection features a wide variety of narrative styles, including prose, poetry, and diary excerpts.

"In 1944, twenty-year-old Leslie Vertes escapes from a forced labour detail in Budapest and miraculously survives by assuming a false identity. About to taste freedom as the end of the war nears, his liberation is short-lived when he is caught by the new Soviet regime and sent for two years of back-breaking labour and captivity. Rebuilding his life and finding love, Leslie's security is once again threatened during the 1956 Hungarian uprising. It is not until he flees to Canada that he finally finds true freedom"--back cover.
