"A masterful account of the growth of the human soul." --Los
Angeles Times Book Review
"An astounding story...in this case the truth is far more powerful
than anything the imagination could invent." --Newsweek
"An extraordinary tale...no summary can adequately convey the
strategems and reverses and sudden twists of fortune...A notable
achievement." --New York Review of Books
"One of the best works on the Holocaust, an absorbing, suspenseful
book that transcends by far even the best docudramas on the
subject." --Houston Chronicle
"The remarkable story of a man who saved lives when every sinew of
civilization was devoted to destroying them. [It] has the immediacy
and the almost unbearable detail of a thousand eye witnesses who
forgot nothing." --The New York Times Book Review
