In 1945, Mike Jacobs visited the Isle of Wight for the first time, finding himself captivated by a railway system at the time innocently believed to be concentrated just at Ryde. Further visits followed, including trips on the Island line to Ventnor, Bembridge, Newport and Yarmouth. Already addicted to the charm of the Island system, it was fortunate indeed when in 1954 there came a house move to Ventor, after which began a daily trip by train to school, again which was only served to cement his already solid fascination with the railway system. Mike Jacobs' stories of railway life half a century ago and more, seen both as a regular passenger and as an enthusiast are almost certainly unique in the way he both recorded and now recounts the same. Written in a way that can only be described as having a wonderful warmth of feeling, the reader is immediately taken back to those same days: to a time already fast receding into the distance and to a way of life now almost alien. Fortunately not only did he record his memories in word form, but also with copious black and white illustrations, most of which have never been published previously, illustrating the scene both as it was then but also as it began to change. This then is a book that will be cherished, one to sink unto at quieter times; to do otherwise would certainly not do justice to the content.

This new book by successful author Mike Jacobs, is an unashamed exercise in nostalgia. Having left the Southern area in the early 1960s, Mike's life and his travels took him former GWR territory, where he freely admits he was surprised that some of the products coming out of Swindon and Paddington were really rather good! This was a time when change was gathering pace and so armed with his camera he travelled the Western region visiting as many places as possible and recording everything he could. The results make for what can only be described as 'joyous' reading.

Cuando terminaron de hacer mi tatuaje; el hombre de la SS me mir y dijo, "Sabes lo que este n mero significa?" "No se or," contest . "Ahora ya no m s eres humano. Eres un n mero, y es mejor que recuerdes este n mero, porque de ahora en adelante as es como te llamar s." Pusieron el mismo n mero en mi camisa, y as me convert en el n mero B4990. Pero en mi mente, todav a era una persona libre. En esta penetrante memoria, hemos sido testigos del Holocausto a trav s de los ojos de Mike Jacobs (en ese entonces Mendel Jakubowicz), quien era un adolescente durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Con gran claridad, Jacobs relata sus cinco a os de cautiverio en guetos y campos de concentraci n. Una historia narrada sin odio o amargura, Sobreviviente del Holocausto nos ense a que cuando reconocemos que la libertad viene de adentro, nunca nos quedamos completamente sin poder.
