Covers a year of Pavel Weiner's life in the Theresienstadt transit camp in the Czech town of Terezin from April 1944 until liberation in April 1945. A Boy in Terezin registers the young boy's insights, hopes, and fears and recounts a passage into maturity during the most horrifying of times.

This elegant translation of Bernhard Waldenfels's Phenomenology of the Alien (Grundmotive einer Phanomenologie des Fremden) introduces an English readership to the philosophy of alien-experience, a multifaceted and multidimensional phenomenon that permeates our everyday experiences of the life-world with immediate implications for the ways we conduct our social, political, and ethical affairs.
