Product Description

The miracle of its survival was predicted - guaranteed.

The written history of the House of Avraham has been born out by the pick and shovel of 20th century archeology. To doubt its validity in the face of all the evidence is foolishness. But maybe I'm mistaken for perhaps the family of fools is even older than the House of Avraham.

Like every family, the House of Avraham is a mixed lot. There have always been a few who saw little value in the birthright - tried denying it - -gave it up - but seldom with success or to their own benefit. Others faced agony, torture, death - rather than give it up. Those who survived hopefully found their reward; those who perished - who knows what prize awaited them for their sufferings. Such are the things faith is made of.

It was predicted. It has come to pass.

Othniel J. Seiden, or Otti as he prefers being called, typically takes on an interesting historic subject and studies it to find the most fascinating storyline.

When doing the research for "Avraham," however, Otti found that it wasn't just one story, but the mixture of the stories of the survivors and their resistance work that really told the true story of the 'Free Jews of World War II' and the part they played in bringing down the Third Reich.

After researching the transcripts of the Nuremburg Trials and interviewing 'The Remnant' or Jewish survivors of the holocaust; Otti was compelled to write their startling and remarkable stories of World War II while the remaining members of "The Remnant" were still alive.

It is a stunning and compelling novel made of up the collection of stories of the Jews who were able to remain free and fight. Otti documents their escapes, their survival, their sacrifices, their suffering, their missions and their guerrilla warfare tactics against the Nazi occupation forces.

Otti tells most of this story in the shadow of the atrocities of the now infamous Babi Yar ravine where it is thought that nearly a million people, Jews and non-Jews alike were massacred. Its existence was kept hidden for many years after the war by both the German and Russian interests. The brave few who escaped certain death here did so by acts of amazing bravery and sheer determination to live.

Otti in this book, with these stories based on real people and historical transcripts, should dispel the myth that the Jewish people "went to their deaths like sheep to slaughter-" The Remnant and their incredible stories will erase that perception forever!

Seed of Avraham is Othniel Seiden's fifth historical novel following The Survivor of Babi Yar, The Capuchin, The Remnant and The Cartographer - 1492

5.0 out of 5 stars The embodiment of Jewish historical fiction!, January 20, 2011
This review is from: Seed of Avraham - The 4000 Year History of the Jewish Family (Kindle Edition)
This book is a remarkable read, it's a novel loaded with an amazing amount of Judaic history. The book is a big book - even made my Kindle "feel heavy", but as quick as I sped through the pages, I would definitely classify it a 'page turner'.

Seed of Avraham is uniquely structured in that it tells the historical stories through the eyes of average people who lived in the biblical times. For example, the story of King David is told through the life of a friend of David's who's father was the armor bearer to King Saul. The Inquisition, the Holocaust, Columbus' journey, all of these events are well-researched and told through the eyes of the everyday person.

The book's stories span the history of the Jewish family from Avraham to present day Israel. It's a must read for anyone interested in historical fiction!

More About the Author

I do not have a literary background, though I did a year of graduate study at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, my real background is medical. I graduated from the University of Missouri School of Medicine in 1964 and practiced for 44 years, first as a General Practitioner, and the last 30 as an E.R. doc. I began writing as an avocation to help me unwind after a long day in the E.R. My writing went in two directions, one Historical Fiction, and the other Medical Self-Help, my forte translating medical information into easily understood lay language. In recent years that Self-Help has been more in the direction of Baby Boomer and senior health and emotional problems.
My Historical Novels deal mainly with Judaical, Holocaust, and Biblical History. Most of my books are both in print and on Amazon Kindle. Please enjoy! With over 40 books published by 10 different publishers I've been named Colorado's most prolific author. Google Othniel Seiden
