Description

The only survivor of his sixty-four-member family, Frank provides the only firsthand account in English of Lublin and the destruction of its Jewish quarter. Amid the horrors and everyday minutia of life under the Nazis, he reflects on the role of faith, the will to live, and the temptation of suicide. Frank also examines survivor guilt, Jewish identity, the psychology of victims and perpetrators, and the role of memory.

Author Biography:

Mark Lewis, editor at Sidewalk, has published several short stories and a novella. Jacob Frank was born on January 3, 1913 in Lublin, Poland. After the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, Frank was randomly chosen to head the clothing factory at the SS-run Lipowa Labor Camp. His position put him in contact with such notorious SS officers as Heinrich Himmler, Adolf Eichmann and Odilo Globocnik. After Lipowa, he was interned in a prison and three other concentration camps. He emigrated to the United States in 1946, becoming a successful clothing designer and tailor in New York City.
