Memoirs of a Fortunate Jew

"Taut and illuminating.... Memorable.... Written with the humility of he who confesses himself and with the honesty of he who bore witness." - Primo Levi "The writing of memoirs is a difficult art that Dan Segre fully possesses. Under his pen, history and psychology merge in one captivating narrative which illuminates the turmoils, fears, and triumphs of his generation." - Elie Wiesel "Beautifully written.... [A] labyrinthine, spell-binding autobiography, full of passionate tenderness." - New York Review of Books "An unusually attractive book - attractive in its irony, its energy and its moral insight. Mr. Segre had some rich material to work with, and he has done it justice." - New York Times"
