ואני שנתקתי מבלי הגמל

Memoirs of a Jew, born in 1927 in Vienna. Chs. 1-3 (pp. 9-49) relate his experiences in the Holocaust, including the "Kristallnacht" pogrom. In January 1939 Frost was sent with a group of Jewish children to Belgium, and his parents and young sister followed. After the German occupation of Belgium in 1940, Frost's father was arrested and eventually interned in camp Vernet in Vichy France. In 1941 his mother obtained permission for the rest of the family to travel to France, where his father was freed and allowed to join them. They lived on a farm until deportations began in 1942, when Frost and his sister were smuggled over the border into Switzerland; his parents fled and joined them in 1943. Frost immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1945.
