Leon Ginsburg
Leon Ginsburg is the subject of several books on World War II. Known as a child by his Hebrew name, Noike, Leon was the only child survivor from Maciejow, a shtetl of 5,000 in Eastern Poland (now part of the Ukraine). Leon was interviewed by Peter Jennings for his seminal book, The Century (Doubleday 1989) and by Jane Marks for her book, Hidden Children of the Holocaust (Ballantine 1993). More recently, his riveting story was written in its entirety by his daughter, Suzanne Ginsburg, under the title, Noike: a Memoir of Leon Ginsburg, (Avenger Books 2012).
