Review:
"Zev's story is one that must be told. Despite living through the Nazi hell, Zev never lost his faith in humanity or in human culture and creativity." --Shimon Peres, former prime minister of Israel
"Breaking a half-century of silence, Zev Birger writes from the heart in a memoir that is all the more moving for its restrained style...Written with understated eloquence, his engrossing survivor's account is a story of remarkable courage told with great modesty." --"Publishers Weekly"
"A richly worthwhile contribution to the library of Holocaust memoirs and a testament to spiritual resistance." --"Jewish Book World"
"An uplifting addition to the Holocaust genre. Recommended." --"Library Journal"
""No Time For Patience", through all of the horrors, is in the end a celebration of the human spirit. It is a book I want my children to read, and their children." --Alan Lightman, author of "Einstein's Dreams"
""No Time For Patience" is a great gift to us all...We feel an intimate connection and experience the grace and urgency with which Zev tells his story. And that is the greatest accomplishment of the book--the way he makes us all his kin." --Nan Graham, Editor-in-Chief, "Scribner"
"Zev Birger's memoir is an inspiration to us all. A powerful and moving story of suffering and survival, his book of remembrance gives true meaning to the words, 'To Life!'" --Mel Parker, Editor-in-Chief, "Book-of-the-Month Club"
