description: A child is born in old Cairo; life does not show him any mercy! At the age of six, in horror, he watches his Jewish school burn down – the brutal act left him with a recurring nightmare. When he was eleven, the Suez War began, his relatives were deported, and the family business was sequestered. At school, his classmates ridiculed him, and his Arabic teacher made his education a living Hell, only because he was Jewish. When he was admitted at Cairo University, he did not dare disclose his true faith. He remained undercover, pretended to be an observant Muslim, avoiding the risk of confrontation. But it was not to be; he was eventually discovered and the resulting mayhem was harrowing. Mid-third year in college, his family’s business was confiscated without reparations. Luckily, his father evaded imprisonment, but the family had no choice but to escape from Egypt. As they attempted to flee, their humiliation persisted and climaxed when they were denied freedom twice at Cairo’s Airport. Throughout the book, this boy’s life is vibrantly recounted, capturing the readers’ compassion while leaving them in utter shock. A true story that defies the imagination!
