Compelling recollections of a Jewish boy in a prewar Polish
village, of his incredible scramble to survive the Holocaust, and
of his adventures in America.
Told with the inimitable flair of a born storyteller, these
stories recall the lost world of small-town Polish Jewry before the
Holocaust and the subsequent odyssey of one boy's struggle to stay
alive in the face of catastrophe. Brimming with the authenticity
and humanity of personal experience, these memoirs are at once
persuasive, moving, and universal in appeal.
Packed with rarely divulged details of daily life during the
Holocaust, the book provides significant insights into human nature
and the roles played by chance and purpose in staying alive. It is
a route of dizzying change. First, author Salsitz, an orthodox Jew,
becomes a slave laborer. Then he becomes an escapee, then a
partisan. In the ultimate irony, he passes as a non-Jew, working in
Polish security after the war. In America, Salsitz finds that the
very traits that saw him through the war enabled him to prosper in
his adopted land.
