This is the story of Earl Greif, born Yisrael Greif, who grew up on a small farm in Galicia, a region of Poland, where his family was caught in the tentacles of the Nazi invasion and trapped in a ghetto. Earl and his little brother Lou hid in an oven to escape the massacre that wiped out all of his family and subsequently eluded capture by subsisting for months in a dense forest, passed as Gentiles and eventually joined a Russian army hospital. They made their way to the United States, where Earl became an ultra successful real estate developer and co-founded a Holocaust memorial.
