A Rage To Live:Surviving The Holocaust So Hitler Would Not Win is the story of Victor Breitburg who survived the Lódz Ghetto, Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Rhemsdorf and Theresiensdtat camps before his liberation on his 18th birthday on May 8, 1945 ... VE Day. We have been awarded an IndieBrag Medallion for our book and all of our Amazon reviews are 5 stars.
We are raising the funds for some travel expenses to New York and LA. Approximately 5 days for recording and filming an accompanying documentary on the process (NY) and 3 days for final sound editing (LA). We also need a few portable pieces of recording equipment and software to match our studio qualifications for when we are not in a studio. We also need to rent a studio in NY for three days and 3 days in Buffalo. If requested at the end of the campaign, a financial expenditure report will be available. If any funds are left over, they will be donated to a Holocaust Research Library or cover the cost of us donating books to school libraries. Professional actors including Lee Wilkof (and director), Duane Tucker, Aaron Krygier (playwright, screenwriter and director), Deborah Krygier Joey Giambra (also boxer, playwright and musician), Janet Zarish, Marc Blum, David Wohl, Hilary Walker and others from New York, Buffalo, and Hamilton, Ontario as well as all the tech people including our sound engineer, John Sisti in LA, are donating their services for this project for Yad Vashem and other Holocaust Research and school libraries that have had copies of our book since it was published in 2012. Scott Ouellette and Brian Ferrall, accomplished classical/contemporary guitarists, composers and teachers are working with me to compose a music score for the book and Rocco DiPietro has joined the team
Brian's Holocaust Suite. This is 20 minutes in 5 movements.

The audio book will be available as a free download to anyone once the project is completed. A dvd with the audio book, a pdf booklet, a documentary on the project and interviews with Victor Breitburg ( the subject of the book) and those who have helped to bring his story to life will be available as a perk or for a fee, (free to libraries) to be determined, and all proceeds will go to Holocaust Education projects as part of our vision at TOLIFE...Ink as a small independent publisher.
We are committed to completing this project even if we do not meet out goal. So, any help we receive will go a long way.
We are also in the pre-publication process of helping another author bring her memoirs to life. She is an educator who has lived in three countries and relates her experiences with how vast the differences are in education from this perspective.
