Summary

"Translated from the original Kindheit, written in 1958 and published in German in 2003, David Dollenmayer's edition makes this work available to a wider audience. Moses Rosenkranz came from impoverished roots in rural Bucovina and gained acclaim for his poetry only late in his life. He survived the same Romanian fascist work camp as his fellow poet Paul Celan, only to be arrested by the Russians in 1947 and interned in the Gulag for ten years." "With his detailed recollections of rural life among Jews, Ukrainians, Romanians, Poles, and Germans in Bucovina, a colorful parade of characters, and remarkable eloquence, Rosenkranz recaptures a vanished moment of cultural history. The author's unvarnished portraits of love, jealousy, and passion in his extensive family bring a new resonance to his poetry."--BOOK JACKET.
