Description
These stories memorialize Ota Pavel's childhood in Czechoslovakia--his beloved family, the flash of fish in clear streams, and the annihilation of this world by the Nazis. His father first has his fish pond confiscated and then, with his two older sons, is sent to a concentration camp. Too young to work in the camps, Ota remains with his gentle mother. Fish save them from starving, as he takes to poaching carp reserved for the Wehrmacht.--
