Review:

"An extraordinary tale of one man's indomitable drive to live, and to live in grace despite what happened to him." -- G. Jan Colijn, Ph.D., Dean of General Studies, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey

A book of wonderful insight, quiet dignity, and great humanity...to be read, savored, and shared. I wholeheartedly recommend it. -- Dr. Carol Rittner, R.S.M., Professor of Holocaust & Genocide Studies

Painful and moving. An extraordinary book that the reader will have difficulty putting aside. -- Gottfried Wagner, author and scholar

Spiegel does a great service to his readers. I recommend this to high school students, college students, and researchers alike. -- Michael Hayse, Associate Professor of History

Spiegel succinctly addresses the issues of bigotry, antisemitism and terrorism, and our ethical obligation to speak out against racial hatred. -- Elizabeth R. Baer, Professor of Holocaust Studies
