The hopes and dreams of a Ghetto child, the vivid depiction of the small joys and great tragedies, the sadness of loss and the adventure of discovery: all we share in being human. I don't want to live in the Ghetto in order to be able to relate with understanding to those who do. This is a must read for anyone who wants to share and understand a different side of life -and for those who would ask that we all be part of a human race. The universality of the human spirit is conveyed in this well written and heart touching book.
