Cap The Price of a Life

"The writing [in THE CAP] is often quite fine and lyrical. And in this age of post-SCHINDLER'S LIST euphoria, THE CAP is valuable as a reminder that the vast majority of Krakow's Jews were not on Oskar Schindler's list, did not know about the list, and surely did not live to see the movie. THE CAP is in so many ways compelling. Ordinarily with memoirs, that should be enough. But with Holocaust memoirs, no story is entirely one's own, but is rather part of a collective act of memory and solidarity. A mere cap cannot cover up the hole left in the world after Auschwitz, no matter how conquering the spirit or implausibly happy the end."Frister, Roman is the author of 'Cap The Price of a Life' with ISBN 9780802137623 and ISBN 0802137628.
