A biography of Lonek Lew, the author's father, told through the lives of over twenty people he was friendly or associated with, a number of whom were historical figures. Using his father's clear and detailed accounts of his life in pre-war Poland, the Holocaust and his colorful life in Melbourne, as well as personal meetings and memories, the author assembles portraits of extraordinary people living through extraordinary events.
"An exceptional book about extraordinary people living in extraordinary times. My only regret on completing it is that I have not met any of them personally."
