Fragments by Binjamin Wilkomirski

Published as a memoir of a small boy who spent his childhood in the Nazi death camps, the book was later discovered to be a fraud. Binjamin Wilkomirski was a child when the round-ups of Jews in Latvia began. His father was killed in front of him, he was separated from his family, and, perhaps three or four years old, he found himself in Majdanek death camp, surrounded by strangers. In piercingly simple scenes Wilkomirski gives us the "fragments" of his recollections, so that we too become small again and see this bewildering, horrifying world at child's eye-height. No adult interpretations intervene. From inside the mind of a little boy we too experience love and loss, terror and friendship, and the final arduous return to the "real" world. This 1997 Picador Paperback is in good condition. Owner's Name inside.
