Praise

Martin Bodek is a masterful storyteller and historian, blending wit, creativity, and profound historical insight in his writing. While many recognize him for his clever Haggadah parodies, his most impactful work to date is Zaidy’s War—the remarkable WWII memoir of his grandfather, recently published by Amsterdam Publishers, Europe’s largest publisher of Holocaust literature.

This gripping story details a journey of survival, resilience, and history, chronicling four army services, near-impossible escapes, and an extraordinary life spanning Romania, Israel, and the U.S. Martin’s dedication to preserving and sharing this legacy ensures that history is never forgotten.

An accomplished author with 13 books to his name, Martin’s work is both entertaining and deeply meaningful. If you're looking for a writer who seamlessly blends humor, history, and heart, he is the author to follow!

We've been doing these brunches for years and several people said yesterday was one of the best.

It was great having you with us yesterday, Martin.

The attendees all appreciated hearing about your grandfather's story and we look forward to our patrons reading your book as well!

Thanks again for making the trip from NJ to join us in our "Mamaroneck o' the woods" - you get all the credit for this new phrase!
