COUNTRY OF ASH by
Dr. Edward Reicher
Dr. Reicher’s memoir tells of his experiences as a Jew in Poland
during World War II. He relates the most
horrific details in a matter of fact voice.
He, his wife and their small daughter all survive the destruction of the
Jewish ghetto and the uprising in the city of Warsaw.
For anyone seeking information about Hitler’s edicts and
their effect on Jews and Aryans in Poland, this account will be riveting in its
details. Because this is a translation
from the original French and Polish, readers will notice some awkward
phraseology and construction.
Book groups might want to also read Anne Frank’s diary, another
account of a German occupied country or even Leon Uris’ Mila 18 or watch the movie
THE PIANIST in conjunction with this book.
