This turned out to be a kind of "sting" operation in which the volunteers worked with lists of meaningless numbers. Alongside it was another unit of chemists who were assign- ed to study World War I techniques to see if a super weapon could be developed. The unit was always rescued by a "professor" — he is not identified otherwise — who somehow appeared like a guardian angel in every camp to which the mathematicians were sent. With war's end, Orenstein returned to Poland, which re- jected its Jews. He then managed to come to the United States, where he became a successful toy manufacturer and philanthropist. For him, a deserved happy ending, yet the memory of the tragedy which killed his parents, a sister and brother and six million of his co- religionists is always present.

There were a few "righteous gen- tiles," however, who risked their lives to frustrate the Hitlerites. Without those few — pitifully very few — Orens- tein would never have lived to write this book. By all sorts of ingenious schemes, such as the building of secret hiding places, called "skrytkas," and bribery, the family managed to avoid numerous German roundups of Jews, but the day finally came when there was no place to turn. They sur- rendered to an "amnesty," knowing full well the hollowness of its promise. "We just wanted to put a stop to suffering," the author states. The parents were im- mediately trucked away. Orenstein recalls that he suf- fered pangs of guilt at not joining them, but reconciled himself that "they died know- ing that we got out and were given another chance to live." It was not much of a chance, as Orenstein was shuttled from camp to camp, his life dependent upon requisitions for the gas chambers and crematoria, the need for labor, the whim of sadistic guards, the gauntlet of selection for work or death, random kill- ing, starvation, disease and self-destruction. 26969 Greenfield At Eleven Mile Rd.
