"The stories that touch me most deeply are those of the children who lived in Europe during World War II and experienced the traumas of the Holocaust. The war tore them away from their homes and their childhood. Dugo's remarkable story is a must-read." 

Ofra, 

HaZofeh, June 2005

The story of a mature and cheerful boy who survived from one miracle to the next, and today at 84 still remains a child in spirit and an optimist in speech and deed." 

Avi, Simaniya website, April 2014

The relevance of Dugo's story will undoubtedly grow over the years."
