Wizjoner, redaktor, bojownik o kulturę. Maciej Parowski był w Polsce jednym z pierwszych znawców kultury popularnej, który już pół wieku temu bronił fantastycznej literatury, komiksu i kina. To on był akuszerem cyklu o wiedźminie Geralcie Andrzeja Sapkowskiego. To on skontaktował ze sobą Jacka Dukaja i Tomka Bagińskiego, wskutek czego powstała nominowana do Oscara animowana Katedra. To on, jako redaktor kultowej „Fantastyki” i „Nowej Fantastyki”, wychowywał całe pokolenia kolejnych twórców i czytelników. Wasz cyrk, moje małpy.

During the war, Checinski (who was born in Łódź in 1924) participated in the Łódź ghetto resistance. He was interned in the Gleiwitz labor camp and survived a death march. This book deals with his personal experiences after the war. Pp. 18-167 focus on antisemitism he and his family encountered in Poland, despite his status as a high-ranking officer in military counterintelligence. Recounts events during the antisemitic campaigns of 1956-58 and 1967-69. Checinski and his family emigrated to Israel in 1969 and then went to the U.S. in 1976. However, his encounters with antisemitism continued. At Harvard he found that at least some professors tended to conceal their Jewish origins. In 1982 he returned to work at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. From 1984 he taught at the U.S. Army Russian Institute (USARI) in Germany (in 1993 USARI was integrated with the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies as one of its divisions). There, too, he encountered antisemitism and discovered that antisemites (including Holocaust deniers) were protected by their bosses and were not rebuked or dismissed. Pp. 286-304 contain photographs and documents.
