Norman Salsitz was born 84 years ago as Naftali Saleschütz, youngest son of a large Jewish family. In 1945, he immigrated to the United States and only now returns to his home town. He remembers and shares his memories: how he became guilty, how he survived and how he took revenge. He still feels angry, with God who let it happen, and with his polish neighbours who didn't help them and fight the Germans. Norman's honest character and precise memory, his curiosity and frankness create an unusual picture of cruelty and sympathy, fear and hope, yearning, disappointment and love.
