When World War Two broke out，Aharon Appealed was seven years old，the child of an assimilated，middle-class Jewish family in Czernowitz After losing his mother；murdered early on in the Nazi occupation，and then his father；And after enduring the ghetto and the two-month forced cede march to the camp，the ten-year-old Aaron escapes and survives, miraculously, in the fields and the forests of the Ukraine for over two years，subsisting on fruits．and berries, and sleeping with cows and sheep for warmth．
Appealed’ s account of these years and of those which follow-recalling the 1ong journey south at the end of the war，to Italy and then to Israel，where he has to remake a life from nothing-is unique and extraordinary. Bearing witness to the，unfathomable，in sentences of subtle power．and grace，Appleseed’ s me Story of a life is a Passionate reminiscence of coming of age in a hostile world-all the more remarkable for being the culmination of one man’s life and work.
