Deb Levy, author of BURY THE HOT, was born in Miami where she grew up celebrating holidays with Sal Wainberg and his family. She trick-or-treated with his daughter. Sal and his wife attended Deb's wedding. Yet, Deb knew nothing of Sal's past until he called out of the blue and asked her to write his story. Born in a Polish shtetl in 1936, Sal's world was surrounded by murderous rage, and the spare miracle. From living in a ghetto to cowering for weeks in an attic; hiding underneath a farmhouse to wandering barefoot through fields of rye ... Sal lived a life that Deb only knew of from movies. "But don't write some Hollywood tale," Sal told her. "I want the truth." BURY THE HOT is the Holocaust story few have the tenacity or courage to share, and explores both a traumatized childhood, and how the repression of it impacts a marriage. It is the heartbreaking account of evading murder, and a brutally honest reflection of a life lived trying to escape the memories. Deb's writing has appeared on parenting websites and in Lilith Magazine. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and three sons.
