“It is of note that Frank Garrett’s translation effectively captures the shifting tenor of the narrative, something which is essential to the success of this multilayered approach. He also includes a guide to assist with the pronunciation of the Polish names in the text, and in his afterword, he details the choices that were made with respect to language, and the challenges of accessing the original resources required to render this unique memoir into English.”

“Garrett is to be commended for his attentive translation. Rendering faithfully a single narrative voice can be a challenge; rendering multiple voices as ably as Garrett has is nothing less than praiseworthy.”
