- The book lands amidst a furious ongoing controversy about the role of Poles in the Holocaust. The current Polish government insists that in World War II all Poles were either heroes or victims. But recent research shows that, while Poles were indisputably victims and some acted heroically, they also collaborated with the Nazis to murder Jews.
- The book's narrative is dialogical in the form of the Polish genre known as wywiad-rzeka (interview-river, pronounced vivyad zheka) that is unknown to English readers but easily digestible.
- Illustrated with numerous archival materials from periods before and after World War Two as well as from German-occupied Poland.
- The conversation spans decades and continents, from Steinlauf's childhood in Brighton Beach amidst a milieu of Polish Jewish Holocaust survivors, his later experiences with American counterculture, the New Left, an anti-war and antiracist student movement of the 1960s and the anticapitalist underground of the 1970s, and his time in 1980s Poland, where he became part of the democratic opposition circles centred around the Jewish Flying University. Steinlauf also describes his time in the independent Third Republic of Poland where he contributed to the creation of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.
