The English Edition of 2017
Jerry Lindenstraus
An Incredible Journey
From East Prussia, via Shanghai
and Colombia to New York
A Jewish Family History
1929 to 2017
1st Edition 2017, 100 pages.
ISBN 978-3-86628-596-5
I dedicate this book to my son Leslie, because he
agreed to travel with me to Shanghai, Bogota, and my birthplace Gumbinnen, otherwise
this book would never have been written. Now he knows my background, and he can
answer any questions his children and future grandchildren may have.
Many American friends asked me about my past when they
heard my German accent, and when I told my story they would say, "write a
book!" so finally I did. I wish I could thank many people for helping me
to write it, but sadly they have all died, including my wife Erica. She
encouraged me to keep writing, and she read, reread and corrected every page. Without
her, I would not have finished the book.
…
I enjoy telling my story at the 92nd Street
Y or the Witness Theater or to whomever wants to hear it. I feel like it is my duty to educate people
about the Jews of Shanghai during World War II.
I am grateful to have had the life I had, which was not a conventional
one, but I know I was loved, first by my parents, and then by my
step-parents. I am fortunate to have had
wonderful friends and a successful business and to have found Erica, to whom I
was married for fifty years. I take immense pleasure in Leslie’s family. I am grateful to Margie. I play tennis, I stay well, and I pray every
day. I continue to try to do good in the
world. And I always tell my two
grandchildren, “if I didn't end up in Shanghai I would not be here today and
neither would you...” (Jerry
Lindenstraus)
