(2) 4-6 Translated by Hillel Halkin. In this novel of heartbreaking resilience based on a Holocaust survivor's account, Srulik, a nine-year-old boy on the run in the Polish countryside, learns from his encounters with strangers that he can't reveal himself as a Jew. Like his protagonist, Orlev does not waste words; he resists embellishment. We learn what happens, but we must construct our feelings about those happenings for ourselves.
