| Plot Summary of Jew Be or Not Jew Be: The Story of a Perpetual Alien |
|---|
"Jew Be or Not Jew Be is an autobiographical novel, a compelling true story of an assimilated Hungarian middle class Jewish family. It documents aspects of life, escape and survival within the history of the Holocaust. Seen through the eyes of a young child, Jew Be or Not Jew Be describes sometimes sad, sometimes poignant events in the face of adversity. It's a moving testament not only to Man's inhumanity to Man, but also to the human will to survive. "
Peter J. Oszmann, Resident Scholar
