Reviews

"A study of survival and the creation of a new life, this is a book that resonates in the soul of the reader." (Salem Statesman Journal) "An honest, harrowing, and vivid account of a living nightmare." (School Library Journal) "Friedman's biography is unusual for a Holocaust survivor. He and his family settled in Austria after the war, where he became a successful black market entrepreneur. He took special satisfaction at profiting from the misfortune of his former oppressor and became a compulsive philanderer as well. Eventually, Friedman's father forced him to immigrate to America along with the rest of his family, where he led a quiet family life." (MultiCultural Review)

A study of survival and the creation of a new life, this is a book that resonates in the soul of the reader.

An honest, harrowing, and vivid account of a living nightmare.

Friedman's biography is unusual for a Holocaust survivor. He and his family settled in Austria after the war, where he became a successful black market entrepreneur. He took special satisfaction at profiting from the misfortune of his former oppressor and became a compulsive philanderer as well. Eventually, Friedman's father forced him to immigrate to America along with the rest of his family, where he led a quiet family life.
