I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher or author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. On 14 April 1956, Shlomo Lichtensztajn, living in 74 King Salomon Street in Tel Aviv, completed several Pages of Testimony to remember the life of his brother, Israel Lichtensztajn, his sister-in-law, Gele Seksztajn, and his little niece, Margalit Lichtensztajn.
