An annotated edition of the story "At Dawn," the second part of the trilogy "The Road Goes into the Distance...." The author, Alexandra Yakovlevna Brushtein, began writing this story in 1958. She was already seventy-five years old, and well over half a century had passed since the events described.
Her city, the city of the story (Vilna, now Vilnius), had survived two world wars and the Holocaust during those years, while the world of the story had sunk into the past, destroyed by the catastrophes of the 20th century. But the writer managed—with love and encyclopedic precision—to recreate the city and world of her adolescence. All the events described in the book are authentic, and each character—regardless of their place and importance in the book—has a real-life prototype, whose first and last name they, in most cases, bear. This allowed Maria Gelfond, the author of the commentary, to find in the archives not only confirmation of the man's existence, but also to trace his history, to learn how he lived before, during, and after the events described in the book.
