Summary:
A Jewish pianist's real-life account of survival in World War II
Warsaw. Separated in a mêlée, he fights to rejoin his family as they
board the death train, but police block him. "Papa!" he cries. The
father waves, "as if I were setting out into life and he was already
greeting me from beyond the grave."
