"This is the authentic and unique story of a young boy, describing the small Jewish agricultural village of Dowgalishok in eastern Poland (nowadays Belarus) and its neighbouring little towns Radun and Eishishok. With a tender loving touch the Jewish atmosphere is brought to life along with the village inhabitants, right from the pastoral days before the Second World War up to the sudden cruel and complete devastation under the Nazi regime." "The first part of the book is a vivid description of Yiddish-kite that has vanished forever. The second part is a shivering testimony of a survivor of the ghetto and the slaughter beside the terrible pit. The third and last part of the book is the story of twenty-two months of escape and struggle for life, first in the woods among farmers and later on as a Partisan in the huge ancient forest." The author tells his story in a simple, honest and fluent style, thus creating both a personal and a historical document. The book was highly appreciated by many critics, both in Israel and around the world for its moving and engulfing quality as well as for its documental value as a record from one of the darkest chapters of mankind.

A Village Named Dogalishok: The Massacre in Radun and Eishishok
This is not for the faint-hearted.
An autobiographical account of the war in the Darfur region of Sudan, seen through the eyes of a woman who becomes a doctor. The book starts very gently, depicting the beautiful community in which Halima grows up. Her village is filled with characters and steeped in her Zaghawa culture. The community collectively raise children, neighbours and relatives are all closely involved in everyone's life. Perhaps in the west we would find this intrusive but it is portrayed clearly showing both the good and the negative - ie Halima is disapproved of by some, as she is at medical school rather than married. Yet each family is watched over and given food and assistance as needed.
As the war comes closer Halima is drawn into caring for fighters who come down to her village to have their injuries tended to - this places her in the firing line with the government forces.
Without giving away the main parts of the story, Halima has to flee following terrible events and makes her way to London, where she has to battle not to be sent back.
An eye-opening read on yet not another confllict where the world failed to act on behalf of innocent people.
