Aaron Elster's story is told with power and integrity. The memory is fresh ,the experience searing. His work retains the tone of the child who lived this story, untainted by adult cynicism and uncensored by a desire to protect those of who were not there or the reputations of those who were there. I found this to be a rare work of survival told with a truthful immediacy that leaves the reader stunned but not numbed. It is not easy reading, but urgent reading, recommended reading.
