xix, 151 pages : 22 cm, \"On July 12, 1941 Ephraim Sten, then 13, began a diary in Nazi-occupied Zloczow, a small Polish village now in the Ukraine. For more than three years he wrote in hiding in a small cottage in the nearby village of Jelechowice, where Hyrc Tyz and his Ukrainian-Catholic family hid the young man, his mother and a number of other Jews. While Sten records the day-to-day circumstances of his life and the constant threat of detection, the distinctive character of 1111 Days in My Life Plus Four results from the reflections on each of the youthful entries by the older Sten in the 1990s. The book makes for a chilling revelation of Sten's inner world, concealed as it was under a seemingly successful life, first in Poland where he lived until 1957, then in Israel. As Myra Sklarew writes, \"the boy and the man he became finally stand side by side in an attempt to free themselves from the voices, faces, images of their shared past.\"\"--BOOK JACKET, Includes bibliographical references and index
