Michael Sherwood was born Meyer (Misha) Teichholz in Tarnopol, Poland in 1923. He escaped from Poland into Russia, serving in the Red Army at Stalingrad before being imprisoned in the Soviet Gulag. This is the amazing story of his Odyssey, his life and loves, the relatives and friends he lost, and how he was able to reunite with his brother during the war, in the gulag, and after the war. Most of all, it is about Michael Sherwood's unstoppable life force that propelled his incredible survival and led him after the war to Israel, New York, and to a successful career leading tours to the Soviet Union. Michael Sherwood lives in New York surrounded by his wife, children and grandchildren.
