Summary:Following the Nazi annexation of Austria in March of 1938, Desider Furst, his wife, and his daughter suddenly found themselves hunted outlaws, holders of a German passport branded with a red "J" for Jewish.

This book's originality lies in its narrative format and its revelation of what befell the "lucky" ones merely on the margins of the Holocaust
