It is a narrow volume of 180 pages, set in a very reader-friendly manner, with a wide leading edge. It takes about four hours to read it, including the three afterwords. It's about the Holocaust, about survival under extreme conditions and about life "afterwards" in a world that quickly forgets what once was. To say I would have liked to read the book would be an exaggeration. Actually, I don't want to know anything more about the “unresolved past”, hardly any epoch in history has been researched and documented as thoroughly as that of the Third Reich, with all its fore and aftermath, from the Treaty of Versailles to the division of Germany.
