Can we, should we, judge the acts committed by people in extreme situations by the standards of ordinary life?   In this memoir of his life as a child in pre-War Poland, in the Nazi concentration camps, and as a young man growing into adulthood and middle-age in the shadow of genocide, Roman Frister portrays a life lived in extreme circumstances. With breathaking openess Frister describes the change from happy-go-lucky child to ruthless camp survivor from branded captive to passionate lover and bohemian, determined never again to let control of his life slip from his hands. He lays himself open to judgemental eyes and tongues of the world.
