When reading Mr. Otterman's short stories in Black Grass and Other Stories, I was taken back into the most horrific time in Jewish history. Although the work is fiction, it is based not only on fact, but personal experience. The short stories are the perfect length to hold your interest, yet not bore you. My favorite is the story about the boy who initially suspected that his father was a Nazi and eventually confirmed his suspicions. He had a Lego set and what he used it for was, to me, a touching and real contact with history. I strongly recommend this book to anyone that believes the credo, "Those that don't learn from the past are condemned to repeat it."
