I still look over my shoulder, wherever I am, I relive the violent bullying I encountered as a kid. I am now in my 7th decade, a cancer survivor, an advocate and mentor for homeless teens, a husband/father/grandfather and dog rescuer. This is the prequel to my next book that will come out in May. This is a story told, from the perspective of a boy, who faced incredible odds and got lost so many times along the way. I got in with the wrong group of people. I dropped out of school. I only cared about making money and wanted all the nice things, I never could afford. I wanted to be accepted for me, but I had no idea who I was or how to find that acceptance. This is a story about growing up in Montreal, facing bullying and racism, being poor, being a punching bag and finally fighting back, peacefully, thoughtfully, not just for myself but for anyone who has ever felt less than. The more we all share our stories of our upbringings and the remnants of which we carry the rest of our lives, the more awareness we bring to the causes, the pain and the need for change.

A concentration camp survivor confronts one of the most heated and vexed questions of the Holocaust: what price survival? In 1943, sixteen-year-old Paul Steinberg was arrested in Paris and deported to Auschwitz. A chemistry student, Steinberg was assigned to work in the camp's laboratory alongside Primo Levi, who would later immortalize his fellow inmate as "Henri," the ultimate survivor, the paradigm of the prisoner who clung to life at the cost of his own humanity. "One seems to glimpse a human soul," Levi wrote in If This Is a Man, "but then Henri's sad smile freezes in a cold grimace, and here he is again, intent on his hunt and his struggle; hard and distant, enclosed in armor, the enemy of all."Now, after fifty years, Steinberg speaks for himself. In an unsparing act of self-scrutiny, he traces his passage from artless adolescent to ruthless creature determined to do anything to live. He describes his strategies of survival: the boxing matches he staged for the camp commanders, the English POWs he exploited, the maneuvers and tactics he applied with cold competence. Ultimately, he confirms Levi's judgment: "No doubt he saw straight. I probably was that creature, prepared to use whatever means I had available." But, he asks, "Is it so wrong to survive?"Brave and rare, Speak You Also is a profound and necessary addition to the body of Holocaust writing: a survivor's reckoning with culpability and survival.
