Memoirs of a Jew born in 1924 in Łódź. At the beginning of the war, Neumark fled to Tomaszów, where he worked at an "Aryan" firm, posing as a Pole. However, he lost this job when the ghetto in Tomaszów was closed. In October 1942 most of the ghetto Jews were deported; for the rest, including Neumark, the ghetto was transformed into a labor camp. In May 1943 he escaped and, with the assistance of friendly Poles, obtained "Aryan" papers and left for Warsaw. There, he volunteered for the Jewish underground organization ŻOB (as a messenger), as well as membership in two opposing Polish resistance groups - Miecz i Plug (Sword and Plough) and Gwardia Ludowa (People's Guard). In August 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising, Neumark was captured by the Germans and sent to a camp in Vienna where, after another escape, he was liberated by the Soviets. After the war he settled in the USA.
