"A major contribution to the newly growing body of Holocaust-survivor-children’s memoirs. The words I would use to characterize this unique volume are: “honest,” “engaging,” “self-probing,” and “thoughtful.” Not only was Walter Solmitz a philosopher in the best sense of the word, his son, David, is one as well."
