Acknowledgements
I want to thank and acknowledge my son, Ben Golub, who in- spired me to write this book adsen obligation on my part to my grandchildren and future generations to inform them of the atroci- ties committed against the Jewish people in Europe. This knowl- edge should help them prevent future disasters against our people. It should also encourage them to support the State of Israel, our most reliable protector. My daughter-in-law, Cindy Golub, sup- ported my son in this endeavor, which took so much precious time away from his family. My daughter, Elizabeth, provided important moral support to me during the stressful period during which this project was completed. My landtzmen from Ludvipol greatly contributed to the creation of this book. I would like to thank those who contributed to the creation of the Yizkor book, many of whom are no longer alive, which was an important reference. Their farsighted actions have helped keep the memory of Ludvipol alive. In addition, I would like to thank Moshe Furshpan, Itzak Gurfinkel, Leibel (Arje) Katz, Pesach Kleinman, Shmuel Shafir, Abraham Shapira, and Yona Tuchman for agreeing to be interviewed for the book. My cousin Boris Edelman, whose courageous actions helped keep me alive during the war, contributed a chapter to this book telling his own story, including how our two paths crossed. I also want to thank Professor Dr. Jacob Allerhand for agreeing to read the manuscript and for contributing a beautiful foreword. Many of the Dror children, who became my new family at Kibbutz Yagur, also agreed to be interviewed for this book. I would like to thank Hannah Haklay, Arie Medlinger, Shmuel Peleg, Leon as an
