This unique and true story of a young boy, skillfully describes the
small Jewish agricultural village of Dowgalishok in eastern Poland
(modern-day Belarus) and its neighboring towns of Radun and
Eishishok. With a loving eye for detail the Jewish atmosphere is
brought to life along with the village inhabitants, from the
pastoral days before the Second World War to its sudden destruction
by the Nazi regime. The first part of the book is a vivid
description of Yiddish-kite that has vanished forever. The second
part is a bleak testimony of a survivor of the ghetto and the
slaughter beside the terrible death pit outside Radun. The third
and last part of the book is the story of twenty-six months of
escape and struggle for life, first in the woods among farmers and
later on as a partisan in the nearby ancient forest. The author
tells his story in a simple and fluent style, creating both a
personal testimony and a historical document. The Hebrew edition of
the book was well received by many critics, both in Israel and
around the world, for its deeply moving quality as well as for its
documental value as a record of one of the darkest chapters of
mankind.
