Don't run! Walk! How we survived the Holocaust

In 2006, as part of interviews conducted by the Shoah Foundation, Roman Polanski, the Oscar-winning director, actor, and film producer, recorded his childhood memories of life in Poland during World War II. Minimally edited, retaining the unique voice of childhood, they sound like an oral narrative. Heavy and valuable. This book also includes letters from his father, which he wrote at his son's request in 1973. They are published for the first time.

The occupation of Krakow, the ghetto, escape, loneliness, hunger, fear, encounters with violence, the prison logic of the concentration camp, survival — first-person testimonies of the horrors of that time and an important historical memory conveyed through personal trauma.
