My Refugee Years (1939-1949)

In this charming memoir, Ferster records his experiences as a Polish Jew during the Second World War, combining facts that will leave you cold, with an anecdotal style that cannot fail to both charm and amuse. With an honesty that is sometimes brutal, never romanticised yet always moving, Ferster's story is a poignant tale of the power and resilience of the human spirit in times of persecution and oppression.
