Description

This book takes the reader through Dr. Włodzimierz Szer’s childhood in Yiddish prewar Warsaw, adolescence and imprisonment in wartime Russia, to the brutal reality of immediate postwar Poland, and the years of the socialist regime. Although largely autobiographical, the book provides a historically and intellectually compelling analysis of the social and political situation in Poland and Soviet Russia from the early 1930s to 1967.

Author Biography:

Wlodzimierz Szer was a Professor of Biochemistry at NYU, USA who authored 170 papers, educated generations of students, and raised a family. He spoke several languages fluently and flawlessly, including Polish, English, Yiddish, and Russian. He loved chess, travel, good company, food, and a drink. He was politically astute, deeply well-informed, and a wonderful storyteller. Bronislawa Karst grew up in Warsaw, Poland. She left Poland for the United States in 1969 after the government's anti-Semitic campaign. She obtained a Masters degree in French and a PhD in Comparative Literature. Retired from teaching, she lives in Buffalo, NY, USA.
