Zusammenfassung:"Narrow escapes and bold decisions define the life of young Morris Schnitzer during World War II. Fleeing from Nazi Germany after the violence of Kristallnacht, with his father’s warning to never set foot in a concentration camp echoing in his mind, Morris resolves to fight--and survive. As he assumes three different false identities and crosses countless borders in search of safety, Morris poses as a farmhand in the Netherlands, is arrested and turned away from safety in Switzerland, is jailed in France, joins the resistance in Belgium, and, ultimately, enlists in the American army, vowing to take revenge for all that he has lost. (Holocaust survivor memoir by a prominent Canadian who was a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He grew up in Germany and witnessed Kristallnacht, and escaped from Germany to the Netherlands on a Kindertransport.)"
