Description
This compelling monograph introduces readers to the period of World War II. To Nazi-occupied Poland. The time and events are conveyed through the eyes and perceptions of a Jewish boy, nine-year-old Yehuda. He witnesses the humiliation of his father, who is driven onto a truck and then never seen again. He, his mother, and sister flee to Warsaw and, under the nose of the fascist machinery, eagerly supported by some Poles, survive by pretending to be Catholics. Day after day, they face the fact that their origin could be revealed, and they would be immediately executed or deported to a concentration camp. The work is a sobering reminder of the personal toll of the extermination of Jews during World War II. The book is a painful portrait of bitter losses and a ruined childhood. This translated edition includes previously unpublished content from the original text.
