This book features a series of short memories of the days when the Nazis were decimating Polish people. Some of the stories were autobiographical, some were from other people. They featured scenes of horror when the Nazis called people out of the houses and divided them into useful or not useful professions. The people deemed not useful were either slaughtered immediately in the town square or loaded in trucks to the cemetery, made to dig a mass grave, and slaughtered there. Some people managed to hide by staying motionless for months in spaces under cow barns or in pit sties. The last part of the book was a script were witnesses to the slaughter were grilled for precise memories.
This book is different from others about the Holocaust because we don't leave the town, people were not always noble, and we are never taken to the work camps. The scenes of people returning to the town were quite poignant.
