A House Too Small: And Other Stories

Acknowledgments

xv Acknowledgments Without the encouragement of dear family and friends, this book may not have come into existence. My appreciation of them and their lives is abiding, even if they are not named here. With respect and gratitude, I also acknowledge : Robert Mandel PhD, the Director of Texas Tech University Press, my esteemed publisher who consistently believed that A House Too Small should be in print and dedicated his talent and energies to fulfilling that goal; his Assistant Jada Rankin; the Editorial Board, Faculty and Staff; Alan Berger PhD, eminent Scholar and Professor at Florida Atlantic University who wrote the Foreword and is counted among my close friends; Joanna Conrad the Managing Editor; Kasey Mcbeath , the Production and Design Manager, and my Editor Mary Beth Hinton, who worked tirelessly. My thanks also go to several of my colleagues whose names (for professional reasons ) I do not mention here, but whose wise counsel is greatly valued. My admiration, above all, is extended to those who experienced (and still do) “the holocaust within”—beyond my imagining—and whose memories I attempt to perpetuate in this work of fiction, with honor, in a creeping “Age of Forgetfulness ”.
