A young Israeli historian is sent by the Yad Vashem Memorial Complex to Poland—to accompany, as a guide, a delegation of officials, groups of schoolchildren and students, soldiers, in the former death camps of Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, Majdanek… He carefully prepared for this assignment. He knew that the main thing for a person in his position is not to let the horrors of the past invade your life. He was sure he could handle it. But he misjudged his strength… In this book, Ishai Sarid challenges the reader by inviting them to think about what we usually prefer not to be concerned with.
