What People are Saying About This

Alvin H. Rosenfeld

"Riveting—a vividly drawn, acutely perceptive self-portrait of harrowing, but also courageous, life-affirming experiences. This is not one more memoir by an aging survivor but a work of high literary merit and historical consequence."--(Alvin H. Rosenfeld, author of A Double Dying: Reflections on Holocaust Literature)
