Description: "An account of a Jewish youth's journey from conservative beginnings in a south-German town, through ever-tightening Nazi persecution, slave labor in wartime Berlin, and, finally, flight into the underground and escape to Switzerland in 1943." "This linking of autobiography with cultural history offers unique insights into the last agony of German Jewry - its everyday life, its concerns, its moral and practical dilemmas."--BOOK JACKET.
