About this book
"Neuman describes the world of Polish Jewry before and during the Holocaust, re-creating the strong religious and secular personalities of his childhood and early youth in Zdunska Wola, Poland: the outcast butcher Haskel Traskalawski; the savvy criminal-turned-entrepreneur Nochem Ellia; the trusted Doctor Lemberg, liaison to the German occupation government; and Neuman's beloved teacher, Reb Mendel. Through their stories, Neuman reveals the workings of a community tested to the limits of faith and human dignity."--BOOK JACKET.
