A Gift from the Enemy by Eric Lamet

A Gift from the Enemy: Childhood Memories in Wartime Italy
by Eric Lamet

This memoir spans 67 months, more than 2,000 days, starting from the ill-fated Sunday in March 1938 when Hitler’s troops invaded Austria and turned this Jewish family into nomads. Sixty-seven months of running, hiding, trying to stay alive and maintaining sanity is a compelling story, particularly as it is told through the voice and impressions of this young boy as he ages from 7 to 12. Scattered throughout the book are precious, vintage pictures of some of the people and places written about.  Eric and his parents flee the Nazis from their Vienna home . . . .
