Publisher's Synopsis
'The bricks fell over. I saw two feet. I stood up. A boy was looking at me. He lifted one foot and brought it down on a sand pie. I looked at the sand pies. Bam. The biggest one was squashed. He stamped on every one of them.' With the fragmented but painfully clear vision of the very young, Jona Oberski, Holocaust survivor, orphan, offers in 'A Childhood' a haunting evocation of the events which shattered the secure world of a cherished only child.
