And to the other forty four million members of the human race who also perished because of him. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I want to thank all those who read my manuscript and thought enough of it to encourage me to publish it. Special thanks to Dr. Aaron Greenwald for his editing, and to Judy Shiner for going over the first draft. My many thanks to Mr. John Lundgren for his supportive letter that is reprinted on the final two pages. Many thanks to my childhood friend, Zoli Berkovic (Meir Barak), for authenticating many stories. ■ < 4rjir j:
