159 pages. Black and white illustrations. "Author is a holocaust survivor who, when this book was written, lived in Montreal. He escaped from Vilna and after the second world war spent several years in West Germany where he directed the War Crimes Section of the Legal Department of the Central Committee of Liberated Jews in Munich. For three years after the war he devoted all his energies to the prosecution of Nazi accomplices throughout Europe. His departure from Germany in 1949 marked the end of almost 10 years during which he had been an inmate of Nazi ghettos, a fugitive hiding out in the Polish countryside, an intelligence officer in a Russian-commanded partisan brigade, an unwilling member of the Soviet Secret Police, a refugee in West Germany, and finally a hunter of Nazi war criminals." - paraphrased from pages 20-21.
