A Must Read!!

This is a book that must be read by all; especially our younger generation so that they can continue to spread the truth about what really happened during the those horrific times of the holacaust. EXCELLENT BOOK!


A Great Man

It was such a privilege read Alter Weiner's story. In his own words he tells of life before the war and then the horrors we cannot even imagine. His book is spellbinding. With such a tragic story, I found the book uplifting. He points out the good in humanity, yet he saw not hundreds, but thousands of people die at the hands of the Nazis. He's a living testimony that no matter what happens to us, the human spirit can still soar.

Since I read his book, there hasn't been a day that I don't thank God for the life I live. As Alter and other Holocaust survivors share their experiences, they educate, strengthen and warn us. For a man that lost 122 members of his family, Alter Weiner tells the story without rage or hatred--a lesson to us all.

My daughter's house honored

Hello Mr Wiener, I am Paula, the British lady, whose daughter's house you honored in Hillsboro. I read "From a Name to a Number" in one day; --- I couldn't put it down. I have read other books on the Holocaust, but Mr. Wiener's account was especially poignant because it effortlessly brought out the characteristics of so many people involved, with such a simple but honest touch, that I felt like I was there. There was devastation of course, but also moments of reaffirmation of human kindness. This book took the reader through the war years, through the years after liberation in Israel, and up to the present time in America. I am grateful to be told, for once, "the rest of the story" in a Holocaust account. Mr. Wiener shares with us how his story has touched many lives. I pray for peace all the time too, Mr. Wiener. May your book be one of the stepping stones to that end.

From A Name To A Number

Alter Weiner's poignant memoir of the Holocaust, "From A Name To A Number," should be required reading for all high school social studies students, and indeed, all those who seek public office. The systematic abuse and horrors that Weiner experienced in the absence of a rule of law should not be forgotten by today's society.

Weiner's honesty in describing confronting the terror and tragedy of his Holocaust experiences and the random randiness of post-Holocaust encounters with women, also scarred and broken by the war, bring a special sense of humanity to the book, and to the times he descibes, that is often absent in Holocaust accounts.

As we live through another time of war, this one not being shared by the general public but by only one-half of one percent of the US population who is either in unifrom or who has a family member in the military, we should reflect upon the enormous and crushing burden our leaders have placed on those in harms way...and think about the innocents caught in the malestrom of war.

Weiner is a profile of courage and I awed and inspired by his ability to carry on after all he's lived through.

Flightline Fabrications Living History Project: History must NEVER be forgotten!

I cannot even measure how privileged I feel to have had the chance to meet Alter Wiener, read his book (From A Name to A Number: A Holocaust Survivor's Autobiography), and learn of his story and life. You can find a lot of history about WWII, you can read and research endlessly, but you cannot learn about what the holocaust was really like until you have heard it from Alter's book and lectures.

Many things touch our lives, but Alter's story is one that will touch your life forever! How he lived, how he lives, and how he will be remembered.

My life has been blessed with Alter's book & story. I promise you will not want to put it down, and that says a lot from a person who doesn't really read books.

You will want hear what Alter has to say!
