God’s Horse (Koń Pana Boga)

About the Author: Dichter was born in 1935 in Boryslav (today Ukraine). Many members of his family perished in the Shoah. At the end of 1944, he moved to Southern Poland with his mother and then to Warsaw. He graduated from the Warsaw University of Technology, where he gained his doctoral degree and then stayed on as a researcher. In his cooperation with a team of technology popularisers from the Chief Editorial Educational Office of the Polish Radio, he created radio shows and popular science broadcasts. After the politically motivated anti-Jewish campaigning in Poland in March 1968, he lost his job and, with his wife and two children, emigrated to the U. S., where he became an expert in ballistics, later working in the field of computer graphics. He made his literary debut after retirement, at the age of sixty. He still lives in Boston.
