Description:
New York: Schocken Books, 1996. Hardcover. Fine/fine. [4], 155 p.: frontispiece; 21 cm. Black paper textured to resemble cloth over boards, with gilt-stamped spine title and blind-stamped cover title. The gold, black, and white dust jacket is shorter than the book, thus in keeping with the title it reveals fragments of the cover. It identifies it as an Advance Reading Copy and announces that the book would appear in October 1996. The Editorial Director's promo for the book tipped in between front free endpaper and half-title page. First published in German in 1995 as Bruchstücke: Aus einer Kindheit 1939-1948. A striking presentation of the experiences of a small child in a concentration camp during World War II. Within a few years of the publication of this book in English, it had been shown to be primarily or entirely a work of fiction and the publisher, Schocken Books, withdrew the remaining unsold copies. However, in 2001 it was reissued with the 374-page report filed by Stefan…
