The Holocaust survivor became extremely troubled by what he was seeing in his new home country of America. People who had seen nothing of hardship and suffering were denying that the Holocaust even happened.

His vivid memoir is a sharp rebuke to anyone who refuses to learn the lessons history teaches us all.
