- In this book speak those who witnessed the death of innocent people, who bade farewell to their next of kin for good. Speak those who do not remember the faces of their parents who entrusted them to the hands of strangers with the hope to save them. Speak those who were lovingly conceived during the first months of 1941 and who were forbidden to be born...Those, who have never seen their mother's face... We will hear from those who were teenagers at the time, and under conditions of physical and spiritual captivity retained the ability to rejoice and dream: a boy tended furry rabbits in the attic of cramped ghetto lodgings, schoolchildren went to school, there was a chorus, and the ghetto library lent the 100,000th book to one of its readers. Here we will find many examples of endurance and courage, genuine friendship and self-sacrifice, all which contradict the view that people turn into beasts under extreme conditions.
