The Seven, a Family Holocaust Story
A literary memoir of exile and survival in Soviet prison camps during the Holocaust.

Less than ten percent of Polish Jews came out of the war alive—the largest population of Jews who endured—for whom Soviet exile was the main chance for survival. Ellen G.

And the search for anomalies will intensify once the Internet of Things spawns even more new types of data. The conc...
