Garmonichnym i blagoustroennym predstaet na stranit͡sakh vospominaniĭ Natana Gint͡sberga mir evropeĭskogo evreĭstva do prikhoda nat͡sistov k vlasti v Germanii. T͡Sentrom byla Tora, po ee zakonam stroilasʹ zhiznʹ, i li͡udi umeli blagodaritʹ B-ga za zemnye blaga. No vse izmenilosʹ tak stremitelʹno, chto chelovecheskoe soznanie otkazyvalosʹ prinimatʹ vozmozhnostʹ stolʹ uzhasnykh peremen. Putʹ evrei͡a iz ui͡utnogo doma snachala v getto, a zatem i v nat͡sistskiĭ lagerʹ Natan Gint͡sberg opisyvaet so vseĭ iskrennostʹi͡u ochevidt͡sa. Za kazhdym ego opisaniem stoit bezmernai͡a blagodarnostʹ B-gu, uslyshavshemu materinskui͡u molitvu o syne.

The world of European Jewry before the Nazis came to power in Germany appears harmonious and comfortable on the pages of Nathan Ginsberg's memoirs. The Torah was the center, life was built according to its laws, and people knew how to thank G-d for earthly blessings. But everything changed so rapidly that the human mind refused to accept the possibility of such terrible changes. Nathan Ginsberg describes the path of a Jew from a cozy home, first to the ghetto, and then to the Nazi camp with all the sincerity of an eyewitness. Behind each of his descriptions there is an immeasurable gratitude to G-d, who heard a mother's prayer for her son.
