Issued without a dust jacket. -- The author's family lived for many generations in the shtetl Radun where Chafez Chayyim [Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan] lived and wrote his important works on Jewish ethics, which made such a tremendous impact on Jewish religious teaching. The author turns back the pages of his own life. All his aspirations, dreams and unsought-after adventures were the results of a series of political upheavals. Imprisoned for being a Zionist, he spent seven and a half years in prisons and labor camps in Russia and Poland. After his release, he was involved in smuggling people across borders, and he became a small cog in the complex wheels of post-war counter-intelligence work in Europe. There were many other fascinating experiences. It was his unflagging will to live and be reunited with his one surviving sister. His shtetl Radun, built and inhabited by Jews for so many generations, had become 'Judenrein'. "I am deeply saddened that my children and others of their generation take no interest in anything that happened before their own lifetime and think only of the present. They neither know nor wish to know about their parents' past and history, which after so many years is beginning to be forgotten, as if it had never happened. This lack of knowledge and compassion has shattered the links between parents and children. Without understanding the past, it is very difficult to fathom the future, for the future is nothing more than a continuation of what went on before." Adam Rogowski (abrashke-kives).
