When your side is loosing, what do you do?
Son af german prostitute and son of rich jewish man. Bourgenositiy and "lumpen-proletariat". At first glance mutually exclusive sides, who were entangled by destiny. If there is a way for Max Schultz to become a decent citizen, he must cease to exist as himself and quietly slip into the skin of someone else. Born the same day as his jewish peer Itzig Finkelstein, who later become his living alter ego. Their companioship has been beneficial; Max learned about Jewish tradition, Itzig learned about rat torturing. Max, often abused by his step father, was seeing faces, one of them was serial killer. Encouraged by Itzig, he became educated young man. Depression hit Germany; instead of going to university, they started learning barber craft by Itzig's father. Max gradually became member of SA, and after night of long knives, enlisted to SS. Maybe it was his jewish face, which turned him to become exterminator. But he didn't feel too much ideological inspiration. He executed his tasks with routine and precision., German precision, who peaked in small concentration camp in Poland. After war with a bag of golden teeth, he returned to Germany. He took identity of Itzig, who died by his hand. Itzig formerly known as Max, becomes jewish pioneer in Israel. At the same time he starts with his vocation of a barber. Skillful, he gains trust and respect of others. In his thought he talks with his dead companion, and gradually he realizes what he has done. A book is a brilliant, hard-core, explicit-content novel, that grasps attention till its end. A must have item for all satire loving readers. The story in which two became one.
