Morrell Avram, born in Bucharest, could have easily become one of the 200,000 Romanian Jews killed by the German Nazis or their Romanian allies. I AM THE STORM is the riveting true story of how he survived—and later triumphed as a pioneering doctor—through a combination of grit and persistence.
At age 11, Avram was separated from his mother and baby sister because the US Embassy would only allow them to immigrate on the condition that they leave Morrell and his father behind. What the family hoped would be a brief separation became six terrifying years. Amid the horrors of the war, Morrell had to fend mostly for himself, shuttling from relative to relative, hiding place to hiding place. Among his close calls: He longed to buy a ticket on the Struma, a ship taking Jewish refugees from Romania to Palestine, that was torpedoed and sank along with many of his friends. He walked into his bar mitzvah ceremony with dozens of Nazi soldiers stationed outside the synagogue. He was strafed and nearly killed by an American warplane. Upon finally escaping Romania and reuniting with his mother and sister, Avram faced a host of new challenges in New York. After getting through high school with minimal English, he was thrilled to get into college but found it impossible to juggle classes while working to help support his family. By age 21, it looked as if his dream of becoming a doctor was doomed. But relief came from an unlikely source—a draft notice from the US Army, which transformed him from an anxious “subway rat” into a focused soldier, driven by the words of his drill sergeant: “You are the storm! You are invincible!” Avram’s unlikely journey continued as a med student in Brussels and Geneva, as a young doctor in Brooklyn, and as one of the leaders of the new field of nephrology. He became a pathbreaking specialist in dialysis and kidney transplants, saving tens of thousands of patients personally and millions more through treatments he helped devise.

One of the best memoirs I’ve ever read. You’ll be riveted from the first words and it only gets better from there. It’s an incredible life story, beautifully told,. You’ll beam with pride, hang your head in shame and disbelief at range of human capability for good and evil but in the end you’ll simply be in awe that all of this happened in just one lifetime and you’ll be full of gratitude for all that this one amazing, compassionate and loving man has had accomplished.

Morrell Michael Avram was a Jewish child in Romania during the Holocaust who escaped to the United States where he served in the military and later became one of the physicians that pioneered the techniques for renal dialysis. His story is captivating and inspiring, a testament to working hard and achieving the American Dream. I Am The Storm is the beautifully told story of his exceptional life.
