Book Synopsis
Alan Scott Haft provides the first-hand testimony of his father, Harry Haft, a holocaust victim with a singular story of endurance, desperation, and unrequited love. Haft's account, at once dispassionate and deeply absorbing, is an extraordinary story and an invaluable contribution to Holocaust literature.

Trade Review
This fascinating account deserves recognition as a distinctive contribution to the literature on the Holocaust, the plight of Jewish survivors in post-war Poland and Germany, and, more generally, European and American Jewish history." - East European Jewish Affairs
