- Summary
- Memoirs describing the author's flight from Jonava, Lithuania, to Daugavpils, Latvia, in the first days of the war; life in the Daugavpils ghetto; escape to join a partisan unit, and his experiences with the partisans in Belarus, where he encountered negative attitudes toward Jews. He was expelled, along with other Jews, from the partisan unit and returned to Lithuania. Interned in the ghetto of Siauliai, he was deported to Stutthof and then to Dachau. The attitude of the local population to the Jews in the countries in which he stayed was never friendly - at best it was indifferent, but there were numerous collaborators who participated in mass killings of Jews.
