Hen's memoir is about growing up in a middle-class Jewish family in Warsaw during the 1920's and 30's, up through the first few months of the German occupation. Nowolipie Street, where Hen lived as a child and young adult, is both the happy background and the source material for his narration. As remembered and retold by Hen with loving detail, the world of his youth regains its full shape and vivid color. This world is shattered when Germany invades Poland. The author and his family live through the horror of the incessant bombardment of Warsaw and the chaos of the next few months. Slowly but inexorably, the noose begins to tighten around the Jewish population. Eventually, the sixteen year old author makes the agonizing decision to leave his parents and flee his country.
