This is an extremely difficult task in rating this work.  The plight of a Jewish doctor in both Russian and German controlled Poland takes a whole new approach as to the suffering of the Jewish race.I enjoyed how he stated that he was born with an 'iron' spoon in his mouth but on several occasions it was plated with silver.His suffering under the Nazi's was, of course terrible, but I cannot put it to the level of those unfortunate souls that languished in the 'death camps' until they were finally killed, thus ending their suffering.As a doctor, he certainly had more opportunities to escape than the average Jew.  He also had the help from several people including those of the Christian faith.The book made a good point in showing how people from other races and religions can work together for a common goal.The end of the book bothered me very much as I couldn't understand how a man that received so much help could be so cynical about life and religion.That is just my opinion and a potential reader should take it as such.
