The Cap

This book, by Roman Frister, was pretty confusing to follow. I would have thought that since the author was a journalist after World War 2 in Poland and then Israel he would know how to make a story flow - I was wrong.
The book is about what he went through during the Holocaust and afterwards. Rather than starting with before the war, then the war and the Holocaust and then the post-war he jumps all around from one point to another. His story is interesting, but he needs to have someone better to edit it so it flows more easily.
I also had no idea why the book was called "The Cap" until I was almost finished reading and he spent a page on an experience he had while in the camps. I think he could have just as well called it "The Boots" - if you read the book the reference would make sense.
