Summary
Follows the life story of Martin Small from the work camp to the concentration camp of Mauthausen, to being a partisan of the Nowogrodek forests, and to life as a displaced person in Italy, and from fighting the Egyptian army in a tiny Israeli kibbutz in 1948 to starting a new life in a new world in New York. This account is based on talks Martin Small gave to audiences across the country and to coauthor Shayne before his death
