Title: An interesting memoir
Review: This is a remarkable account of a Polish Jew's escape from the Nazis and his subsequent wartime service in the Red Army. Mr. Temkin's writing is rarely emotional, never vengeful, which may seem somewhat incongruous with the level of the tragedy he experienced. His entire family perished, after all; he barely escaped. And he encountered physical hardship and anti-Semitism in Russia. But he gives a straight-forward account of the Holocaust in Poland, his rather extraordinary rise in rank in the Soviet Army, and his "just war" -- his personal battle against Fascism. Credit belongs to Mr. Temkin's family for persuading him to share his very interesting memoir.
