In the context of an autobiography, the author describes some facets of the life of a generation within an assimilated Jewish community in Slovakia. The narrative, a true story, is both of a general and specifically Jewish interest. The general reader will follow the tensions and adventures of the War-time escape of the author from Slovakia to England to join the Army and fight against the evil of Nazism. For the reader interested in the recent Jewish history the book assumes an added dimension: it is not only a testimony of the life and thoughts of a generation which in a few years will be extinct but also it belies the frequently expressed notion that the Jews passively accepted the miseries of their persecution which culminated in the tragedy of the Holocaust.
