Jewels and Ashes - Arnold Zable Eddie the Butcher of PlaszowRomance and terror, light and shadow, replicas and originals, hover side by side, seeking reconciliation, while within me there is a sense of awe and a silent refrain: I am here, at last I am here; and it is far more beautiful than I had imagined. And far more devastating. Yet, somehow, never have I felt so much at peace. In the twenty five years since it was published, Jewels and Ashes has become a classic, a book that has stood the test of time.
