Section on The Library of Holocaust Testimonies by Sir Martin Gilbert. Alexandre and his family live in Poland, which is partitioned in 1939, followed by a brief period of Soviet rule full of tension and fear. This is followed by the German invasion and occupation which brings depression and debasement to the Jews. Locked up by the Nazis in the ghetto in 1941, he escaped in February 1943 and spent 18 months in hiding before emigrating to France. This work is a memoir written from the perspective of a Jewish boy between his seventh and seventeenth year. The author describes a childhood and adolescence swept away-family, friends and playmates-were sucked into the extermination world of Nazi Germany. Alex was born in 1930 into a family of prosperous secular Jews, and raised with stern love by his nanny, a German Lutheran. In 1939 Poland was partitioned and Grodno became part of the Soviet Union. Soviet rule was quickly succeeded by German invasion and the brutal repression of the Jewish population. Although Alex was wounded during the invasion, his father, Dr. Chaim Blumstein, refused to believe that organized genocide by one of Europe's most cultured nations was possible. However, after his arrest and interrogation by the Gestapo, Dr. Blumstein was forced to concede the impossible, and arranged for his family to escape from the ghetto to the house of a country doctor, who-although a fervent Catholic-agreed to help the Blumsteins.
