Description: "Life Strictly Forbidden is the memoirs of well-known Polish writer, Antoni Marianowicz, told partly through interviews with journalist Hanna Baltyn, and partly through personal recollections of his family before the War and during the Occupation." "The Marianowicz family were wealthy bourgeoisie. But, at the age of 16, Antoni was forced to live in the Warsaw ghetto. After 18 months he fled from the ghetto and managed to survive for three years (1942-45) hiding out in a small provincial town near Warsaw where, paradoxically, he and other Jewish refugees hid in a glass factory that belonged to the Waffen-SS."--Jacket.
