Michel (read 28 Mar 2023) The author tells of his time in German concentration camps from 1943 to 1945, which account is the most interesting part of the book. After he got out he came to America and tells of his work in regard to that experience. That part of the book is of less interest ( ) Excellent book. I could not put it down despite some of the gruesome and grittily realistic descriptions of the Holocaust. Mr. Michel lived through first the initial persecutions, then being shuffled among concentration camps and finally making a bold escape. He escaped from the famous "death march" from Auschwitz to Buchenwald ahead of the advancing Soviet armies. Hitler wanted to "finish the job" before being stopped. The book then details his immigration to the U.S. The book lays out why this country is simply the best land anywhere, a miraculous. country. He rose from being an errand boy at a small-town newspaper in Port Huron, Michigan to executive levels at United Jewish Appeal. The book is spellbinding, and probably among the five top books I have ever read. Incredibly, I bought it for $1.50 at a cutout sale at the public library. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Author Ernest Michel survived the Holocaust against incredible odds. After fleeing from the Nazis, he made his way to the U.S. but couldn't forget the promises he'd made to friends, many of whom had died. Among the book's highlights is Michel's description of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, as well as his dramatic encounter with Herman Goerring. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
