An Encounter With the Past

No. You were second to the commissioner of the Warsaw "Jewish district."

Twenty-eight.

Yes, but for a lawyer who got his degree at twenty-seven, it's just a beginning.

I was with a mountaineering publishing house. I wrote and published mountain guide books. I published a mountain climbers' magazine.

Is climbing your main interest?
