Beschreibung:
This is a personal memoir set against the backdrop of Lithuania's occupation - first by the Red Army, next by the Germans, and then again by the Russians. It is a story reflected through the prism of a sharp-eyed young child, Shalom Eilati. Throughout the memoir, Eilati attempts to reconcile his present life as a husband, father, scientist, and writer, with the images, feelings, and thoughts from the past that have left an indelible mark on his life and that continue to haunt him.
