Opeens alles te verliezen, je plaats in de samenleving, je rechten, en uiteindelijk je geld. Het hoofdpersonage van dit boek is niet altijd even sympathiek maar hij is uiterst herkenbaar in wat hij het liefste wil: gewoon zijn normaal leven leiden, en niet meer reizen of vluchten.
Omwille van de thematiek is dit een aanrader, de schrijfstijl haalt naar mijn gevoel echter niet het onderste uit de kan qua emotionele impact.
(3.5 sterren)

This is an especially sad story because it mirrors the author's experience in fleeing Nazi Germany.

Outstanding, almost nausea-inducing with the amount of panic and stress you feel on behalf of the narrator. Amazing writing.

A different type of Holocaust story with an interesting backstory of its author and creation. A- (91%/Excellent)

less of a story and more of a commentary but very good

This deserves 5 stars based on its content. The descriptions of unexpected arrests, the need to constantly move, having to be suspicious of all and ultimately the effects of all the horrific atrocities towards Jews could have on a person’s sanity were moving and sad. This history must not be forgotten.
It was so sad the to king author died before he was able to submit his revisions and edits for this book. As I read it, I could see the need for revisions but knowing that was impossible made it easy to just take in this story as it is. An amazing effort for such a young man.
