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.

Sturdy & we repurchase yearly for Hubby’s refresh
Color: Brown (Rodeo)
This is my hubbys tried and true wallet. He requests this same one every year as a refresh. He wears his 24/7 in his back pocket so it gets discolored but still holds its shape pretty well with a slight bend.

Great for everyday wear, vibrant dial, comfy band, no locking crowns. Would buy again.
Color: 6638: Gold band & Green dial
Excellent price point, stylish, and the pictures match what you get. The green is bright and vibrant and the gold band looks real although stainless. A great piece to wear all the time without worrying about losing value. Would buy again. My biggest complaint: The small crown do not lock so they get randomly hit and cant be trusted. The time kept is fine but do no expect to be able to lock the days in. The crown wont spin to lock them.

Looks really good.
Color: 6638: Gold band & Gold dial
Looks great, quality is really good too. Only downfall is that if you don't wear it everyday, you will have to wind it up and move it to get the second hand moving again and then set the time again i can get mine sit for a whole day without resetting time but by day two it has to be reset. Even with that, it's a great watch. Have gotten lots of compliments.
