Summary:

"You could lose an eye is the expression David Reich's mother often used for those she loved. It is the story of a family's transition from the wretched oppression they left behind when they arrived in Montreal. They had only to learn new languages and adapt to a new political, economic and not always welcoming social culture. It recounts the laughter and the tears, the triumphs and the failures as Ma established her dynasty, as Pa built his business and as their firstborn carved an architectural career. All was possible for those who took root in a free world. They were the fortunate ones who were allowed to aspire and succeed, and to keep alive the memories of those who were denied entry and paid the ultimate price for being Jews."--P. 4 of cover.
