Child of the HolocaustMore shocking than The Diary of Anne Frank - the record of one child's struggle against the ultimate horror. He was nine years old, without parents, relatives, friends, fleeing for his life across the nightmare landscape of his conquered, war ravaged land. All too early he discovered the monstrous evil of human beings-and the shining goodness. In a world of fear and hate, he learned the meaning of love, and had his first poignant initiation into the mysteries of the flesh. He knew what it was to lose his name, his religion, his identity - and to find them again. This is his story, set down with a frankness and searing immediacy that will bring tears to your eyes and hope to your heart. --from book description, Amazon.com. |
