"""Feldman's memoir is quite successful. His is not the conventional retelling of the brutalities of life and death in Nazi camps. Rather it is the story of a Jew from Germany who managed to elude the Nazis for the entire war. How he did so is a fascinating tale of personal ingenuity, sheer good luck, and the caring protection of others, spread across four European countries.""--Jerold S. Auerbach, author of Jacob's Voices: Reflections of a Wandering American Jew ""In this straightforward, often riveting memoir, Feldman recounts the harrowing years of his youth and young adulthood, which he spent eluding the Nazis.... Escape is the memoir's leitmotif, and Feldman, as both survivor and refugee from the holocaust, gives that theme a quiet power.""--Publishers Weekly ""This is an extraordinary story that is gripping like a novel as it increases in tempo and danger to the very last days of the war high in the Alps. Feldman's writing is often understated and to the point, [and] certain sentence are devastating in their brevity and honesty.""--Stephen Balbach, Cool Reading 2009 ""In this heartfelt memoir Feldman describes his rejection of Judaism, and his eventful decision not to say the Kaddish for his mother. Although many survivors lost their faith, having been shaken following their realization of the magnitude of the Holocaust, few memoirs that I have read describe the steps so candidly.""--Jack Fischel, Shofar"
