Description
"'Clear the streets for the brown battalions ... out with the Jews'. These words of Nazi stormtroopers are indelibly etched on the author's memory, and signalled the collapse of the comfortable life of the assimilated Jewish bourgeoisie into which he had been born in Breslau, now Wroclaw." "In 1939, his travels with 'no fixed abode' began. His father - lawyer, civil servant, former guardsman in one of the Kaiser's elite regiments, was forced to emigrate to Northern Rhodesia, later Zambia, and eke out a living - far from his former professional status - as a dry cleaner. The book describes the author's transition from persecuted Jew and 'enemy alien' to assimilation into colonial society following an education in privileged whites-only schools and Witwatersrand University."--Jacket.
