The Little Boy and the Holocaust (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492340942)

Maurice Polar was born in Nancy, France in 1936 as World War 2 was slowly starting in Europe. He thus is a Survivor of the Holocaust. It is with a delightful talent that Mr. Polar tells us his recollections of the cataclysm seen through the eyes of a small Jewish child in continuous hiding. The smooth text will take the reader on a roller coaster of emotions. Here is a work by a man who, at the age of ten, was totally illiterate and who is now able to write a wonderful story in a language that is not his mother tongue. Mr. Polar's descriptive art can be compared to Gustave Flaubert's.
