"This book is based on the records of the Benjamin and Vladka Meed Registry of Jewish Holocaust Survivors. The Registry is a computer database that lists more than 170,000 names of Holocaust survivors and some members of their families. The American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors first established a national registry in 1981 to document the lives of survivors who came to the United States after World War II ... The Registry includes the names of Holocaust survivors who are now deceased, but does not indicate that they have passed away ... this published version only includes information about the survivors based on their individual files."--Introduction
The field of organizational storytelling research is productive, vibrant and diverse. Over three decades we have come to understand how organizations are not only full of stories but also how stories are actively making, sustaining and changing organizations. This edited collection contributes to this body of work by paying specific attention to stories that are neglected, edited out, unintentionally omitted or deliberately left silent.

Hello there, Micah here. I'm supposed to say something that gives you an idea of what this book is about and try to convince you to buy it. So let's start with a simple statement, shall we? This book is filled with comedy, drama, action, suspense, and sheep. No, really...it is. But, more than that, this book is about cutting the crap and getting to the point. So, why not start at the description? This is a book about an artist struggling to come to grips with adulthood, marriage, divorce, family, friends, love, mental illness, and society in general. In short; life. I know, it sounds depressing. But really, it's filled with humor as well. I mean, how many biographies involve spontaneous indoor rain? Airborne yogurt? Random public nudity? Oh, yes, and a complete discussion on the proper use of profanity? These pages detail the story of my journey through life. Oft-times a bumpy and scary ride; but filled with discoveries great and small. Everything in here is true, as unbelievable as some of it might seem. So why don't you crack the book open and have a closer look? -Micah P.
