Books in the Holocaust: History and Literature, Ethics and Philosophy series

Tells the extraordinary story of the author's twenty year quest to find gold coins which his father's family buried in their backyard just prior to being deported into concentration camps. The book details the author's quest to unearth his family's past and his father's treasure and continues with his parent's amazing post-war years in Europe.

This memoir is about a Jewish baby born in the Krakow ghetto in November 1942, three years after Hitler conquered Poland, and, remarkably, escaping death - one of a mere one half of one percent of Jewish children in Poland who survived during the Nazi era. The book also depicts the author's postwar challenges in Germany and America.
