Tales from the Milestone

About the Book

Wajikra's story details his life before the WWII and the last days he was with his parents, how he survived on his own, and his treatment on the farm where he hid for a while. He details aspects of "underground" activities and lets others tell their stories. The last chapter is a rather horrifying story of a raid on a farm and the defensive actions he and others had to take.
