Hand-painted watercolor cover of Ricordi 1940-1945.

Self-portrait as soldier.

"We touched on a new land, Albania..."

"With two other telegraph operators I was to reach a height further on used as an observatory."

"I ran along the bottom of a valley between two hills where there was a brook..."

"Our guide remained immobile for a couple of hours."

"The moon lit up the landscape. I will never forget that spectacle."

"In a lane we met a Coptic priest."

"...we were ordered to burn all the houses without mercy."

"...into an uncovered railroad wagon..."

"They took us to a vast concentration camp..."

"We pickaxed all day till seven in the evening..."

"...we could see everything lit up like day by the great fires."
