Memoirs of a Jew born in 1927 in Działoszyce, Poland. Relates his experiences in the Holocaust (pp. 105-161), including the expulsion of the town's Jews in September 1942 to Miechów, from where his mother was deported and killed. Tenenbaum survived a number of labor camps in or near Kraków, including Płaszów, doing forced labor along with his father and three brothers. He was then sent to the camps of Wieliczka, Mielec, Mauthausen, and Melk, as well as on a death march to Ebensee, where he was liberated. His brothers survived the Holocaust, but his father did not. After the war he became active in the Zionist Revisionist movement and helped smuggle Jews to Palestine. In 1951 he immigrated to North America, living in the U.S. and Toronto. Pp. 369-373 discuss the author's friendship with Elie Wiesel and pp. 421-427 his presence at the Holocaust denial trials of Ernst Zundel and James Keegstra.
