Rain Storm by Barry Eisler
The history of this small Jewish community of Nowy Zmigrod in the Carpathian mountains in Galicia, Poland is contained between the front and back covers. The beautiful interior of the old synagogue on the front cover shows the wealth and power of the Jewish community. The back cover represents the flames that destroyed the synagogue as well as the entire Jewish community. The Jews are gone, the synagogue is gone, and all of the Jewish institutions are gone. The town of Nowy Zmigrod has no Jew living there to give testimony to its history. Thus, this Yizkor or Memorial Book, was created to memorialize the hamlet's Jewish community. The only evidence of the long Jewish presence are the very old Jewish cemetery in Nowy Zmigrod and the mass grave site at the forest of Halbow near Nowy Zmigrod where the Jews of the hamlets of Nowy Zmigrod, Osiek Jasielski, and nearby towns were murdered on July 7, 1942.
Eisler, Barry: - Bestselling and award-winning author Barry Eisler writes black ops thrillers with the assurance of one who knows: for three years he held a covert position with the CIA's Directorate of Operations. Afterward, he became a technology lawyer and startup executive in Silicon Valley and Japan, earning his black belt at the Kodokan International Judo Center along the way. Eisler's thrillers have earned numerous distinctions, including the Barry Award and the Gumshoe Award for Best Thriller of the Year. He's been on numerous Best Of lists, and his work--including the #1 bestseller The Detachment--has been translated into nearly twenty languages. When not writing novels, he blogs about torture, civil liberties, and the rule of law. Eisler lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
