What is My Father's Son : a Memoir about?
Men always found good reasons to join the French Foreign Legion - among them hiding from petty (or capital) crimes, broken hearts, or the spirit of adventure. But Dimitri Drobatschewsky was barely 18 years old when he signed up for five years in the Legion because World War II had begun. "I did not want to idly stand by while others risked their lives to save mine,"he said. Drobatschewsky is Jewish and his father, a noted Russian-born musician, was dropped to Auschwitz where he was murdered with millions of others. In this memoir, telling of his childhood and war experience in Europe, then of his emigration to the United States, the author pays tribute to the haunting memory of the man who opened the door for him into the magic world of music.
