Summary: A whole new outlook on life
Review: At school last year, David Faber came to our school and talked to us about his book and his experience. I have not actually READ the book, but hearing his story first hand definitely had a huge impact on me.

Summary: A whole new outlook on life
Review: Before Mr. Faber came to Eagleview Middle School to explain his horrible past, I used to think differently of the Holocaust. My Social Studies teacher Mr. Perfors taught us about the Holocaust, although I couldn't get a clear picture. That was until Mr. Faber came to talk to us. The details from his story made me feel as if I was there, although no one could have gone through as much pain as Mr. Faber. It was an honor to hear of his experience after what he went through. It takes a strong willed person to go through what he went through and to continue to live with the pain and to tell others of his past. I had a very different outlook on life after reading Mr. Faber's book. I am grateful to live in a country where there is freedom of religion and one's opinions and not being tortured. Mr. Faber's book (Because of romek) is higher than a 5!

Summary: A memory not forgotton
Review: David Faber book was the most outstanding story I had ever read. By reading this book made me realize that I live one of the greatest years in history. David has been my encouragement to live without hated to someone who has done wrong. One of the parts in this reading that touched the inside of my heart was when he described the killing of his parents, brother and sisters. The way that I found this book was through my cousin, she said that she will never forget the suffering and hatred that Germans had towards the Jewish people. I recommend all teens to read �Because of Romek� this book would make them realize that now we have the greatest opportunities in life. I encourage my comrades at school to read this book; they would see the world differently as we see it now. I would like to meet Mr. Faber someday. I give this book five stars.

Summary: A haunting tale that will leave you tninking long after...
Review: Had I thought it was fiction, I would have thought the author went over the top with this farfetched tale. To know that it is authentic is horrifying and at the same time captivating. If you are into the holocaust, then you will find this book absolutely fascinating; and if you aren't a history buff I recommend this book as enlightenment. My utmost respect to anyone that has been through this nightmare. And David Faber my deepest gratitude for having written this book.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I have a had the privilege of not only reading Mr. Faber's book, "Because of Romek", I also had the great privilege of meeting him in person and discussing his heart wrenching experiences. Once you start reading his book you won't want to put in down! On several occasions, I had to stop and remind myself THIS IS A TRUE story! To read what it was like first hand from Mr. Faber, a Holocaust survivor, was to say at the very least, enlightning! It is so very hard to believe that another human being could treat another human in such a horrible way. As a police officer, I have experienced some terrible things in my 20+ years, but I don't believe any of them could come close to comparison with Mr. Faber's experiences. My deepest respect and admiration go to you, Mr. Faber! I thank you for sharing these very personal thoughts and experiences with us! You have definately given me a new perspective on life and how fragile life can be!

Summary: Great book!
Review: I just finished this book for my college reading class and I loved it! I'm going to have the privilege of meeting Mr. Farber as many of the other reviewers have as he is coming to our campus to talk. This book is a real eye opener and it had me in tears at many parts. There are times when it gets hard to read, especially when you bear in mind that these events actually took place, but page after page the book has you wondering what happens next and if he's going to get out soon since you know he's going to live. 5 stars for Because of Romek.

Summary: Completly Stunning, Heart Warming, and Excellent!
Review: In this novel you never will want to put the book down! It goes through all the harsh times, and how he felt. The story goes from being thrashed around so much, yet still he remained brave and strong. To read the writings right from Mr. Faber, a Holocaust survivor, was so thrilling,and inspirational. When reading this book I had a very hard time keeping in mind that it was even a true story. And to think that at one point in time our society was really like this. It really hurts me to honestly know, that it was not that long ago. His book really means something, and comes from within his soul. We should all take advantage of his book, and read it first hand to get a good idea of what life was like then. He is really something special, Mr. Faber, and forever you will remain in people souls. I definatly gice this book 2 thumbs UP!

Summary: And you thought you had it rough...
Review: My girlfriend and I had the good fortune of meeting Mr. Faber at a recent book signing. Seconds after introducing himself, he is ready to pull up his shirt sleeve to show you a grim reminder of his past. His arm still bears the numbers, forcibly tattooed on him by the Nazi regime. He then pulls open his book, lovingly pointing to his mother and sisters. With a soft break in his voice, he then describes the moment he found them lifeless, piled on top of one another. We bought several copies... and have come back to purchase more. The book does not disappoint, written in a narrative format that is easy to follow and gripping to read. His work leads you down the path of brutal history, following his family as they are forced into slave labor, rounded up into Ghettos, and then ritualistically hunted by the Nazis. He makes a pact with his mother to survive the horrors, and through it all, he somehow does. Reading the book, you realize that he had a higher purpose in life, educating future generations about the atrocities that no man or woman should have to endure. After meeting the man and understanding his past, one can only thank God Mr. Faber lived to tell his story. It will change you forever.

Summary: Supberb!
Review: No long description of this book is necessary, just trust me.....it is a book you will not put down till you finish it!!! I have an extensive collection of books written about the Holocaust and this one is one of if not the best. I began to read it and I immediately was drawn into the story and could visualize what the author endured so very long. No matter how good a book is there are usually a few dull moments or something like that, but this book honestly never did. Each page, each word was brilliant! I read it in just one day, there was no way I could put it down. So I recommend this, do not begin the book until you have a free day and then begin it in the morning and let yourself enjoy it without having to be interrupted for work, school. etc.I would really like to thank the author for this incredible book!!
