博客來My youngest brother asked me to help him remember.
He had no one else to ask.
So begins this extraordinary memoir, handwritten by Maria Gluck at the age of 93 and completed - by herself using IBM’s ViaVoice dictation software - at 97.
What started as a few memories for her brother became a sweeping portrait of a lost world: the vibrant Jewish communities of prewar Czechoslovakia and Hungary, the rising tide of antisemitism, and the struggle to build a new life in America.
As I Remember... is both intimate and epic - raw, unflinching, and fiercely personal. Told with warmth, clarity, and quiet strength, it preserves not only what was lost, but what was saved.
The memoir is followed by a collection of short stories, reflections, and essays written into her 97th year - final testaments of love, resilience, and moral clarity.
This is not just a memoir.
It is a voice carried across generations -
a story written and spoken so it would never be forgotten.
