    About this ebook

    Zachary Blake, Detroit's king of justice, reflects on the 30th anniversary of his grandfather's death in this part-prequel, part-historic novella. Award-winning attorney/author Mark M. Bello takes us back to the time of Zachary Blake's Bar Mitzvah and Zachary's life-changing conversation with his maternal grandfather. 

     

    Max Lewin has promised that at the time of Zack's Bar Mitzvah, Max would tell the boy an incredible story of survival and escape from the death camp at Auschwitz during World War II. As Max spins the tale, the boy is mesmerized, not only by the true story, but by his grandfather's bravery and heroism. Then and there, Zachary makes a decision that will direct his future, about what he plans to do with the rest of his life . . .

      About the Author

      Prologue: 1990

      ––––––––

      Max Lewin studied his inquisitive grandson on the eve of the boy’s Bar Mitzvah. The family had just attended a Kabbalat Shabbat service at the synagogue, welcoming the arrival of Shabbat.

      Because he was the Bar Mitzvah boy, Max’s grandson, Zachary, sat on the bimah for the service. Zachary was honored to chant the evening service, the prayer over the wine (he was permitted to take a sip!), and sing Shalom Aleichem, praising peace, the women of the house, and thanking G-d for allowing their family to reach this day.

      When they arrived at Bubbe and Zayde’s house, the women quickly retired to the kitchen. Before long, the family was seated at a mammoth dining room table, enjoying the traditional Shabbat dinner, the Jewish excuse to over-eat. When dinner was over, the women stayed in the dining room and kitchen, clearing the table and washing the dishes. The younger children ran to the basement where Bubbe and Zayde kept all the toys. The men went outside for a ‘puff’ as Zachary’s father referred to smoking cigars. Max and Zachary ventured into and were left alone in the old man’s study.

      Overpacked bookshelves lined the walls. An ornate wooden desk sat in the middle of the room, with an oversized executive chair at the
