About the Author

Stiffel was born in Austro-Hugnarian Galicia. He grew up as a young Jew in the then Polish City of Lwow. In 1942, he and his family were deported to the Death Camp of Treblinka, from which he escaped, only to be apprehended a few months later. He served time in Gestapo jails and in the concentration camp of Auschwitz, until the Red Army liberated the camp in 1945. Soon, he left Poland, leading a 20-person group of Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, first to Romania, then to Italy.

Reviews

This 10th-anniversary commemorative edition of Stiffel's powerful memoir of Holocaust survival includes a new afterword by the author.

Though many personal accounts of the Holocaust are available, LJ's reviewer praised this 1984 volume for its description of "multinational Poland before the war and the interlude of Soviet occupation" (LJ 2/15/84). With the popularity of Schindler's List and the upcoming 50th anniversary of D-Day, books dealing with the Holocaust and World War II are going to be in demand.
