About the author

Thomas T. Hecht was born in Busk, Poland (now Busk, Ukraine) on November 27, 1929. After the events recounted in this book, he and his mother had many adventures. After their liberation they sojourned in a number of towns, until finally they were admitted to New York in July 1948 under the Displaced Persons program.

Summary

This is the story of a young boy who came of age before World War II in a small Polish-Jewish-Ukrainian town. Among the most moving pages in the book are those the author devotes to the Ukrainian and Polish men and women who found the courage, in the face of savage anti-Semitism raging about them, to come to the aid of the Jewish victims.
