Description: Plucked from his tranquil childhood life, 14-year-old Gyuri finds himself imprisoned in Auschwitz, where he is unable to identify with the other Jews and is, in turn, rejected by them. This is the story of an outsider amongst his own people, one whose estrangement makes him a preternaturally acute observer.
