"The Journals begin in 1948 in Ystradgynlais, the Welsh mining village that Josef Herman loved, and which he made his home for more than a decade, finding there what he needed to express himself as a painter. He arrived in the Swansea Valley at the end of a journey which began in Warsaw where he was born in 1911. His passion for art and an awareness of the prevailing anti-Semitism took him to Brussels where he studied his beloved Flemish masters. But, with the Nazi invasion he escaped to France, ending up finally in an internment camp in Scotland. In these Journals we read how he discovered the fate of his family and of his subsequent and enduring anguish."--Jacket.
