Description: "Jacob Frank survived four Nazi concentration camps, including Dachau and the little-known Lipowa Labor Camp in Lublin, Poland. The SS randomly chose him to head a 450-tailor operation at Lipowa, which put him in contact with such notorious SS officers as Himmler, Eichmann, Goth, and Globocnik.".

"The only survivor of his sixty-four-member family, Frank provides a rare firsthand account in English of Lublin and the destruction of its Jewish quarter. Amid the horrors and everyday minutiae of life under the Nazis, he reflects on the role of faith, the will to live, and the temptation of suicide. Frank also examines survivor guilt, Jewish identity, the psychology of victims and perpetrators, and the role of memory."--BOOK JACKET.
