Description: "As a deaf, Jewish boy existing under the Nazi regime, Izrael Deutsch endured a mind-numbing series of life-wrenching experiences. In his earliest years, he lived in a rural area of Czechoslovakia, where his father supported his family with a country store and a farm. Stories of this time center around boyish pranks, such as setting a hay pile on fire and dozing off after eating some toast covered with stolen poppies.

His mother set in motion the first jarring change in Izrael's life by taking him to Budapest, Hungary, to attend a special school for deaf Jewish children."--BOOK JACKET.
