| Description: |
A starkly compelling, original chronicle of survival in Nazi-occupied Poland, available in English for the first time |
| Synopsis: |
Witness to many war atrocities and one of the few survivors of both the Lodz and Warsaw ghettos, Edward Reicher's testimony has been cited in many scholarly works, but this is the first time English-speaking readers will have access to his complete and uniquely chilling account. Forced to join the Jewish administration of the Lodz ghetto before embarking on a daring escape to Warsaw, and often called upon to treat members of the SS for skin and venereal disease, Reicher came to know some of the most infamous figures of the Holocaust. Together with lesser-known stories about the formation of the Jewish Resistance, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the Polish Catholics who provided aid to Jewish families hiding outside the ghettos, this memoir is both an unforgettable tale of survival and invaluable historical document.Translator Magda Bogin is acclaimed for her "suave" (Publisher's Weekly) and "strikingly true" (School Library Journal) translation of Cervantes' Don Quixote, Isabel Allende's international bestseller The House of Spirits, and letters by children deported to Auschwitz, which appear in the landmark publication French Children of the Holocaust. Bogin's own novel received the Harold U. Ribalow Prize and she has many connections to Jewish-interest media and scholarly organizations. |
