Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Second Edition. 128 Pages. No defects noted to this bright, tight book with interior text pages near flawless. The title of this autobiography reflects a major milestone in the author's life. The dream refers to his desire to enter a university after high school and become a professor, an idea planted in his head by his mother. The shadows intervened in several ways. First, directly bearing on his ultimate goal were the discriminatory laws imposed upon Germany by Hitler, solely to artificially validate his illusions about race and ethnicity.
