About the Book:
A vivid memoir of the Holocaust
in Croatia during World War II. Isac’s happy childhood was abruptly
ended by the arrest and disappearance of his father, then his mother.
After his own arrest and miraculous release, he hid under an assumed
name in a Christian boys' school, then escaped to join the Partisan
resistance.
But the war’s end would not end
his troubles. Anxiously expecting the return of parents who do not
come back, the adolescent boy coped with the feelings of growing up
amidst a stressed, decimated family, while enduring the vicissitudes
of Tito's dictatorship in communist Yugoslavia. Yearning to have a
family of his own, wanting to live in the peace and freedom of a
normal society, Isac made his way west, to the USA.
