Zev Birger enjoyed an idyllic childhood in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas. His family was warm and loving and he remembers many blissful afternoons spent in the family garden after Hebrew school. Inspired by Zionist writers, Birger believed bel in the need to establish a homeland for Jews-bur he could not have foreseen how urgent this need would become in his own lifetime. In 1940 Lithuania was invaded by Russia, and followed a year later by Germany. Together with the other Jews in the area, Birger and his family were forced into the ghetto in nearby Slobodka.

In simple, powerful prose, Birger describes his family's efforts to survive in the ghetto, from being discovered by the S.S. in a cellar hideaway and taken to the Dachau/Kaufering concentration camp in 1944. The atrocities of ghetto and camp life as experienced by a teenager are terrifying: the last time he saw his mother as she was taken away; the Children's Atkion in 1944, during which more than 2,000 children were murdered; the rampant starvation and disease.

Birger was the only member of his family to survive the war and the Holocaust. No Time for Patience is his powerful testament to hope and the will to survive.

Zev Birger has been the director of the Jerusalem International Book Fair for over 15 years, and has held numerous important positions within the civil and commercial world. As a man of language and literature, Zev Birger has always supported diversity in Israel's cultural life. He lives in Jerusalem.
