Roman Frister reconstructs his life: childhood in an affluent Jewish family in occupied Poland, passing through ghettos and concentration camps, postwar survival, and his career as a journalist in Israel. He tells it without idealising himself, showing how the norms of ordinary life are suspended in extreme situations.

For readers of memoirs and Holocaust testimonies, with an interest in the history of Poland and Israel during the twentieth century.
