Zusammenfassung:"In recent years, a number of people have been arrested on entering a country when drugs have been found on their bodies or in their luggage. In some cases, they were indeed knowingly smuggling, and needless to say this is a very serious crime. However, there have been a number of cases where highly respected people with good hearts, were asked to take a suitcase which they were told contained, for example, clothes to another country. Unfortunately, but completely unknown to the carriers, drugs had been secreted in the suitcase. This has often resulted in these innocent carriers finding themselves in jail and then being put on trial, often after several years of incarceration. The first section of this book describes a case of drugs being found on a person entering India, who claimed that he did not know that his luggage contained drugs. He was transferred to an Indian prison where he was held for an extended period without even a trial, under the most inhumane conditions. There he contracted malaria and as a result his life was in danger. He was therefore advised to escape from the prison. In my book "A Miraculous Escape," I have written a comprehensive commentary on this escape. Details of this escape were written by Avigail Myzlik, and were translated into English under the title "Escape from India" by Shoshie Nissenbaum. In the course of the escape, the escapee utilised taxis, buses, railways and rickshaws, and as a result he managed to cross the border from India to Nepal, and finally arrived back in Israel. In my commentary, I use detailed maps and train timetables, to reconstruct the possible route he took in his escape. In addition, I give detailed background information which includes information on the various places he passed through, the various organisations he came in contact with, and who greatly helped him [...]."
