Abstract:
The author's aim is to provide a chronicle of the Reiss family and other related families, many of them killed in the Holocaust. There is a large family photograph on the cover page. The memoir starts with a short history of Jewish life in Bohemia where John Reese's family comes from, then moves on to detailed descriptions of the lives of family members, sometimes enriched by personal anecdotes. In the second half John Reese turns to his close family, his family hop business, childhood memories from Bohemia, and his education. In 1938 his family escaped to North America, he started a new life and took part in World War II. The memoir follows roughly a chronological order.
