Country of ash : a Jewish doctor in Poland, 1939-1945 / Edward Reicher ; translated from the French edition by Magda Bogin, based on Jessica Taylor-Kucia's English version of the original Polish.
Dr. Reicher's memoir tells a gripping, tragic, unforgettable tale that, like Wladyslaw Szpilman's The Pianist, recounts the horrors of being a Jew in Poland during World War II. This important historical document distinguishes itself from other Holocaust narratives in many ways, but perhaps in none more so than this: its perseverant hero not only saved his wife and daughter but helped bring one of the most notorious Nazis of all to justice."?AUSTIN RATNER, Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature-winning author of The Jump Artist and In the Land of the Living<BR.
