In 1941, in Zlochow, Poland, where Ephraim Sten lived with his
family, the SS rounded up Jews into ghettoes. Thirteen-year old Sten,
who had started a diary, fled with his mother to the countryside
where a Catholic-Ukrainian couple hid them and several relatives.
Sten's account of those years was harrowing. Fifty years later he had
the diary translated into Hebrew for his children and responded to
each of his own youthful entries. "For decades," he writes, "I was
not conscious of the load crushing my soul. This damned writing has
newly rediscovered everything." 1111 Days in My Life Plus
Four is a double testimony of the boy and the man he became—an
extraordinary record and, in itself, a distinctive work of
literature. As Myra Sklarew writes, "the boy and the man he became
finally stand side by side in an attempt to free themselves from the
voices, faces, images of their shared past."Published by Dryad Press
in association with the University of Wisconsin Press.
