In a poignant and hopeful memoir, Alfons Sperber's courage, strength and unwavering faith shine through as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit during one of the darkest periods in history. Alfons has rarely spoken about his harrowing experiences during World War II - until now.

When the author's 11-year old son, Eli, is assigned an immigration project for school, his Papa reaches deep into his past to unearth long-buried memories. Alfons begins to share his personal story with his great-grandson recounting how he came to America in 1948 - a journey that started at a parade in Vienna, Austria in 1938 when he too was just 11 years old.

As they talk regularly over Zoom, Alfons' memories resurface with increasing clarity, and the depth of his story grows with each conversation as he describes his narrow escapes from the clutches of the Nazis through Vienna, France and Switzerland. In opening up about his past, Papa expresses fear that soon there will be no survivors left to share their experiences, and that the horrors of the Holocaust and stolen childhoods may be reduced to a mere footnote in history. Live and Be Counted stands as a testament to the power of strength and courage, faith and optimism, and above all, the love of family.

Siesser, Ron: -

Ron Siesser is the eldest of six grandchildren to Alfons Sperber. Employing a story-telling approach that alternates perspectives between war-torn Europe during and today, his desire to tell his grandfather's story of survival and arrival to the United States was inspired by his own son's school immigration project. Ron lives in New Jersey with his wife, Debra, and children, David, Atara and Eli.
