By Adler, H. Gc2011., Adult, Random House Call No: Fic Adl Edition: 1st U.S. ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A brilliant epic, 'Panorama' is a portrait of a place and people soon to be destroyed, as seen through the eyes of young Josef Kramer. Told in ten distinct scenes, it begins in pastoral Word War I<U+2013>era Bohemia, where the boy passively witnesses the 'wonders of the world' in a thrilling panorama display; follows him to a German boarding school full of creeping xenophobia and prejudice; and finds him in young adulthood sent to a labor camp and then to one of the infamous extermination camps, before he chooses exile abroad after the war. Josef's philosophical journey mirrors the author's own: from a stoic acceptance of events to a realization that 'the viewer is also the participant' and that action must be taken in life, if only to make sure the dead are not forgotten."--Inside jacket.
