This book tells the life story of an extremely engaging and
charming Polish Jew, Shmuel Braw (1906-1992), who lived through the
traumatic historical events that shaped Jewish experiences in the
twentieth century. The story is told largely in Shmuel's own
Yiddish- inflected Australian English to two avid listeners: Calvin
Goldscheider, a social scientist, and Jeffrey M. Green, a writer
and translator. Both the Holocaust and Shmuel's harrowing
experience as a prisoner in a Soviet labor camp in Siberia figure
prominently in this book, but Shmuel also describes his community
of Tarnow, a town in southeastern Poland, in rich detail. After
World War II, Shmuel settled in Melbourne, Australia before
eventually immigrating to Israel. Shmuel was lively, colorful,
entertaining, deeply concerned about other people, and a devoted
and kind family man. The book is true to Shmuel's spirit and shares
the life of a man whom everyone fondly remembers as a typical
extraordinary Jew.
