A Promise Kept

Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)

In August 1941 Otto and Lenka Friedmann stepped out of their apartment in Zagreb, Croatia, and never returned. During the next 15 years they first evaded the Nazi death machine by escaping into the mountains of Croatia and then with the aid of Partisan militia they found temporary sanctuary in Italy. With the aid of refugee organizations American Joint Distribution Committee, AJDC, and Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, HIAS, as well as countless individuals who helped them along the way, they finally began a new life in their adoptive country, America. Set as a novel, based on an video interview of my father when he was 96 years old, this is a story of heroism, perseverance, and of people helping those in need.

From readersfavorite.com:
"The details and the accompanying pictures make this book so real that the reader is easily pulled into the story. I would be ruining it if I gave you the details. The story was written as fiction but the facts are very real. Victor Friedmann is Otto's son. When Otto was 96 years old, he recorded all that had happened in his life and Victor did a beautiful job of converting it into a fictional book using his father's details and adding his imagination where necessary. I found A Promise Kept to be a really good book. Historical facts, family love and devotion and so much more made it hard to put the book down until I reached the end. If you are a history buff, a romance fan or just looking for a good book, A Promise Kept is a must-read." Trudy LoPreto, Readers' Favorite.

"Reviewed By Trudi LoPreto for Readers' Favorite

A Promise Kept is the incredible journey of Otto and Lenka Friedmann. It is August of 1941 and the beginning of Hitler’s war on the Jews. We follow Otto and Lenka from the time they leave their home in Zagreb, Croatia until their arrival in America over 15 years later. The Friedmanns have to endure much suffering. They first begin by walking long hours and days traveling over challenging mountain trails before reaching their destination. They must travel by train and live in small cramped rooms. Life is hard and finally, they are given permission to board a ship across the ocean and find a new home in America. Otto and Lenka have no idea what to expect once they arrive but they are ready to do whatever it takes to keep the family together, safe, and free.

The details and the accompanying pictures make this book so real that the reader is easily pulled into the story. I would be ruining it if I gave you the details. The story was written as fiction but the facts are very real. Victor Friedmann is Otto’s son. When Otto was 96 years old, he recorded all that had happened in his life and Victor did a beautiful job of converting it into a fictional book using his father’s details and adding his imagination where necessary.
