One son escaped from Buchenwald ending up in the US, another fled with his wife via Shanghai to South America and the author’s father became a refugee in the UK. At ten years old the author visited Dachau concentration camp near Munich and vividly remembers the detritus of its inmates’ possessions. In 1967 he worked as a volunteer in a kibbutz after the Six Day War.
