      About This Book

      Joop Dykstra, a Dutch Jew and former speed skating champion, has been deaf and mute since 1943 when he witnessed his parents and sister and brother board a train for Auschwitz from Westerbork, the Dutch detention camp. His story refutes the Anne Frank myth of the Dutch nation as saviors of the Jews. A day by day list of the deportation of over 100,000 Jews from Westerbork to Auschwitz, Sobibor, Bergen-Belsen and Theresienstadt is annexed as an exhibit to the novel.
