The Forgotten Man

A Journey Through the Ashes

Beschreibung

The Forgotten Man: A Journey Through the Ashes is a powerful epic that chronicles the adventurous life of David Wdowinski, a tragic and brilliant psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor, and Revisionist leader during the epoch of the Warsaw Ghetto Rebellion. Dr. Stanley S. Seidner uses fifty years of painstaking research to weave a gripping tale from unpublished documents- including family letters, diaries, and previously unknown evidence- creating a spellbinding narrative that takes readers from the times of murderous pogroms and nationalist anti-Semitism through the Holocaust. Vividly evoking Wdowinski and his turbulent times, The Forgotten Man is a riveting historical psychological portrait of a man many considered to be a paragon of strength and virtue. Arguably the controversial apotheosis of heroic leadership in the Warsaw Ghetto, Wdowinski gave critical testimony at the Eichmann trial and helped to establish a Jewish State. Unknown to the world, Wdowinski's private journals reveal a fixation on the demons that visited him both mentally and physically. A devastating and unflinching narrative, The Forgotten Man transcends Wdowinski's public persona to masterly reveal a story of devastating loss and its consequences upon personal identity.
