Memoirs of Grastain, a Jew born in Warsaw, interspersed with comments and poems by Schoumann, his "adopted granddaughter." Grastain, who had settled in Paris in 1929, was arrested during the Vel d'Hiv roundup together with his wife and daughter, who were gassed upon arrival at Auschwitz. Grastain first worked in the Auschwitz Sonderkommando and in September 1942 became the main electrician at the Jawiszowice labor camp. He managed to escape from a death march after the evacuation of the camp. He was soon caught but, posing as a Pole, was released. He spent some months in Russia and in July 1945 returned to France.
