Because of Romek  is a nonfiction, autobiographical book about the experiences of a teenager during the Holocaust.

When David Faber was 13 years old, he witnessed the brutal murder of his family by Nazi soldiers, in Poland during World War II. He promised his dead mother that he would survive and tell the world about the horrors committed against him and his family. Because of Romek continues to fulfill that promise, by providing a personal account of Nazi atrocities from the point of view of a youth. This moving narrative is also a useful tool for educators to teach about the horrors of the past, so as to avoid repeating such horrors in the future.

A new edition of Because of Romek is in progress, which will include previously unreleased material, more research, and more photos. Look for the new edition in bookstores, coming soon.
