An excellent, deeply moving début, Reisefieber tells the story of Daniel, a writer who comes to Paris after the death of his estranged mother. Only now, when it is too late, wanting to discover and preserve the waning truth about her, he desperately looks for it in the people, things and words she left behind. He also searches his own memory, but the snapshots it reluctantly ejects feature some barely recognisable people: himself and his mother, long ago, blurred and distant...

This is the true story of Stanisław Aronson, born in 1925 in Warsaw into an assimilated Jewish family. The story takes us through his protected early life, in very good circumstances. However, World War II breaks out and everything around him collapses. The story then travels through the turmoil of escaping from the German advance, first from Łódź, then Warsaw, and later on further into eastern Poland. During this fascinating story we are witnesses to the Soviet occupation of Lwów, the tragic destruction of Warsaw, two years of combat service in an elite unit of the Polish underground army known as “Kedyw Kolegium A”, or Special Operations Command. We see images of some extremely memorable, hair-raising operations, real “Missions impossible” , followed by the Warsaw Uprising, during which Aronson is seriously wounded, the fall of the Old City and his escape from Warsaw in its death throes. Then comes bitter disillusionment when he realises that the entire Aronson family has died in Shoah. Then comes his final escape from Poland, just before the Soviet regime tightens its grip. Then Aronson serves in the famous Polish 2 Corps in Italy. The turning point in his life is his decision to emigrate to Palestine in 1947. Then he spends the rest of his life in Israel, where he develops a civilian career, as well as taking part in all the Middle Eastern wars of the 20th century.
