Isaac Benatar tells the story of the Jews of Rhodes, two of which were his grandparents who died at Aucshwitz, through the story of a young Jewish boy that he meet at a conference in Rhodes.
The entire Jewish population of Rhodes was almost annihilated. Only one thousand survived out of a population of 80,000. This history tells of the deceit and inhuman treatment of the Jewish community of Rhodes experienced during their deportation and eventual «liberation» by the Russian Army.
