Child of the Holocaust by Jack Kuper

Beautifully and evocatively rendered, this memoir endures as an example of post-war narrative at its finest.

Jankele Kuperblum was just nine years old when he returned home and found his family gone. The night before, Germans had come to his town in rural Poland and taken away all the Jews. Now alone in the world, he has to change his name, forget his language, and abandon his religion in order to survive. Jack wanders through Nazi-occupied Poland for four years with no place to hide and no one to trust.

Adam Kuper is a Fellow of the British Academy and Professor of Anthropology at Brunel University in the United Kingdom. The Chosen Primate: Human Nature and Cultural Diversity (Harvard 1994), Anthropologists and Anthropology: The Modern British School, third edition (Routledge 1996), and Culture: The Anthropologists' Account (Harvard 1999) are among his works. He is the co-editor of The Social Science Encyclopedia, third edition (Routledge 2003) and the founding president of the European Association of Social Anthropologists. He was the editor of Current Anthropology for many years and is the co-editor of The Social Science Encyclopedia, third edition (Routledge 2003).
