This remarkable, never-before-told account of the Ovitz family, seven of whose ten members were dwarfs, bears witness to the best and worst of humanity and to the terrible irony of the Ovitzes' fate: being burdened with dwarfism helped them endure the Holocaust. Through dogged research and interviews with Perla, the youngest Ovitz daughter and last surviving sibling, and other relatives, authors Yehuda Koren and Eilat Negev weave the tale of a beloved and successful family of performers who were popular entertainers in Central Europe until the Nazis deported them to Auschwitz in May 1944. Descending from the transport train into the hell of the concentration camp, the Ovitz family--known widely as the Lilliput Troupe--was separated from other Jewish victims. When Dr. Josef Mengele was then notified of their arrival, he assigned them to sequestered quarters. His horrific "research" on twins and other genetically unique individuals already under way, Mengele had special plans for the Ovitzes. The authors chronicle Mengele's loathsome experiments upon the family members, the disturbing fondness he developed for these small people, and their interminable will to make it out alive. Dozens of telling photographs are included in this horrifying yet remarkable tale of survival.Binding Type: Paperback

Long lasting soap, worth the cost, smells great
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I love Huron's products. Yeah, this soap is a little pricier than most, but it has one of my favorite scents from any bar soap, the Citrus + Eucalyptus. In fact, I’ve already bought the cologne of that scent.
The fact that these bars are triple milled makes it worth every penny. It really does last longer.
Having now tried the Sea Salt + Driftwood bar soap, I also like this fragrance, but not quite as much as the Citrus + Eucalyptus. It's a little warmer/earthier in fragrance, so consider that if you're looking for strictly fresh and light. A little more expensive than most off the shelf brands of soap, but worth it in my opinion.

Leaves the hubby feeling clean and fresh!
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
My husband loves trying new soaps. He looks for a few things when selecting one: (1) a great smell, (2) a good lather, and (3) after use, a clean feeling. He found that this soap (by Huron) does have a unique smell. It is a blend of citrus and eucalyptus, which is a little different from other soaps that he has tried in the past. He found that this soap lathers well, but warns that it does get really slippery (which could be the result of the shape). And he has also found that following a hard workout and showering, his skin feels clean. This produce does not include any of the bad stuff like parabens, phthalates, silicone, aluminum or sulfate. And he has not noticed any itching, dryness or irritation (on his skin) after using this product. Overall, he recommends it.
