On Burning Ground: A Son's Memoir
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1999. First U.S. Edition. First Printing. 235, illus. The dramatic account of one man's improbable efforts to survive the Holocaust. Fleeing the slaughter in his Polish hometown of Novogrudek (Navaredok), Joseph Skakun, the author's father, assumed a series of false identities--first as a Christian, then as a Muslim, and finally as a recruit of the Nazi SS--in order to stay alive in the vortex of hell. Constantly fearing exposure and death, Skakun lived to see the downfall of the most brutal horror of the modern age. Condition: very good, very good.
Keywords: Genocide, Waffen SS, Nazis, Navaredok, Novogrudek, Yeshiva, Einsatzgruppen, Atrocities, Holocaust
