Fatal error: Call to undefined function isLitsy() in /var/www/html/inc_magicDB.php on line 425- Stephen Nasser was born to a Jewish family in Hungary. In 1944, during World War II, when he was 13 years old, he and his extended family were deported to the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Muhldorf. All the rest of his family members perished, including his brother Andris, who died in his arms. Stephen survived and was brought to Canada by the Canadian Jewish Congress in 1948. Ten years later, he emigrated to the USA, eventually settling in Las Vegas, Nevada.
He speaks to classes, church groups and organizations about his Holocaust experiences. While in the camps, he secretly wrote a diary, which he kept for nearly 60 years; it became the basis for his memoir My Brother’s Voice, published in 2003. It was published in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland under the title Die Stimme meines Bruders.

Stephen delayed writing about his experience until his Uncle Karoly passed away for Stephen knew the tragic fate of his uncle's wife and baby and did not want him learning the details.
Despite the horrible events of Stephen's youth, he remains a positive and optimistic person. He begins his story at the end, telling of his rescue and rehabilitation. At first he uses the construct of telling a nurse what had happened to him, in bits and pieces, but then transitions into a straightforward narrative, which worked better for me. His story is written in the first person present tense, which immersed me in the story, but does make it less history and more narrative. I found his experiences after the war —returning to Budapest and school, reconnecting with family—members, to be interesting and am glad he continued his story until the point he leaves for Canada.
My Brother's Voice is another important story in Holocaust literature and reminds us of the impact of war on children.… (mais)
