This is the story of Kalman Katz's war years. His story is set around a small Galacian town Przemyslany. He survived the early war years by being hidden by an ethnic Russian farmer for three years, as did his mother and father. His brother and sisters and his extended family were taken into the forests and shot by Ukrainian militia. When the Red Army liberated Galacia the author found himself dragooned into the army – " ... He he joined front-line troops in fighting the Germans and, by an extraordinary quirk of history, became one of the liberators of Auschwitz in late January 1945." – from the rear panel blurb. A little rubbing of the book edges and panels and the white coloured background, which, has ever so slightly become yellowed. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. [5], VI - IX, [1] 69, [1] pages,.
