is an autobiographical novel, a compelling true story of an assimilated Hungarian middle class Jewish family. It documents aspects of life, escape and survival within the history of the Holocaust.

Seen through the eyes of a young child it describes sometimes sad, sometimes poignant events and at other times hilariously comic moments of sheer defiance in the face of adversity.

It is a moving testament not only to Man’s inhumanity to Man, but also to the human will to survive.

Rabbi Julia Neuberger commented in a letter to the author about his book:

I can’t believe how long I’ve had your book - – and here is at last my view on it. First, I much enjoyed it, if enjoyed is the right term - I learned, laughed and cried.
