- Summary:
- Memoirs of a German Jew describing the struggles of his family during the Nazi regime: the two arrests of his father, a jurist, who was taken to prison and sent to a concentration camp; his own persecution in school; and the suffering of his mother and sister until their emigration to the U.S. (which he calls expulsion, because they had to leave Germany against their will).
