Generally, it provides an account of Viennese cultural life between the wars. Fisher writes about his time with a Zionist youth organization; as well as family summer vacations in Croatia and Italy. He recalls the events of March 1938, and the beginning persecution of Jews in Austria. In spring 1939, he was incarcerated by the SS; he and other younger boys were released, but men (among them his father) were taken away. Later the family got transit visas to England, were he lived as a refugee and was interned as an enemy alien. Fisher describes in detail his transfer to Canadian camps and ends with his release in 1942, and the beginning of a new life in Montreal, Canada.
