His life contains unique drama. Within the project of this biography in three parts, the first volume deals with his parents and describes his origins, youth, education and student years. His father, Alexander Shapiro (1890-1942) was a Russian-Jewish Anarchist who was already involved in revolts against the Tsarist regime by the age of fifteen, was involved in the Russian Revolution during the First World War, and took part in the Spanish Civil War, before losing his life in Auschwitz.
