Holocaust Survivor Ivan Z. Gabor Shares His Life Story of Survival and Triumph in “Echoes of My Footsteps”

Ivan Z. Gabor talks about his traumatic past and how his resilience helped him endure the Holocaust and the many hardships that followed in its wake in an engrossing autobiography “Echoes of My Footsteps: An Autobiography” (AuthorHouse; 2009).
 
Enduring hope is the theme of Gabor’s autobiography, written with the assistance of Jeffrey Beal. “Echoes of My Footsteps” tells the unlikely story of a man who survived the Holocaust and two wars, endured starvation and deprivation as an immigrant in Israel and antisemitism in Argentina, and suffered psychological trauma. Gabor relied on his resilience to overcome a life riddled with tragedies and move forward in life with love, hope, and faith.
 
“No matter how difficult life is and even if you don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, just keep looking for it,” Gabor said in an interview with Sun Sentinel.
 
Filled with historical detail and incredible tales of bravery and anecdotes of a life well lived and loved, “Echoes of My Footsteps” will encourage readers to appreciate life’s treasures and, above all, empower them to rise above life’s ocean of tragedies.
 
“If for some reason,” wrote Beal in the foreword for the book, “your determination to fight the good fight has diminished, it is my hope that Ivan’s life will reinvigorate your efforts, and that by the time you turn the last page, you’ll come away convinced that anything is possible.”
 
“Echoes of My Footsteps” was included by The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in their archive or collection of personal stories or testimonials. It also earned positive reviewed from independent book review publications.
 
“I commend Mr. Ivan Z. Gabor for having the fortitude to tell his story to the younger generation,” wrote Gary Sorkin of Pacific Book Review. “‘Echoes of My Footsteps’ teaches about history, empathy, and human strength that we all have within ourselves.”
 
Kirkus Review describes the autobiography as “a fascinating memoir that details the personal anxieties and triumphs of an iconoclastic 20th-century life… This refreshing resistance to political correctness or stock theology reminds readers of why an individual’s life is relevant for memoir in the first place.”
 
Julia Ann Charpentier of Foreword Reviews gave the book four stars out of five and described the author as “a captivating example of fortitude and strength.”

About the Author
Hungarian-born Ivan Gabor is a fascinating man of the world and a truly unique individual. Despite enduring savage beatings, near death events, starvation, incredible adversity, and the most traumatizing experiences that war can inflict, he remained upbeat. Nazis and all manner of fascists assailed him from childhood and all the way through middle age, but they couldn’t suppress his natural optimism and love of life. A self-taught man of letters and an artist, he continues to confront this world with confidence and a smile. His co-author, Jeffrey Beal, shares the same outlook and perfectly complements his subject.
