The whole is moving, and strange beyond belief. --The Times (London) International acclaim for Solomon Perel's Europa Europa The wrenching memoir of a young man who survived the Holocaust by concealing his Jewish identity and finding unexpected refuge as a member of the Hitler Youth. It is a Holocaust memoir that is moving, straightforward, and quite completely bizarre, unsettling in all kinds of assumptions about identity, responsibility, and guilt. --Glasgow Herald Perel bares his soul to readers in this fascinating, unusual personal narrative of the Holocaust. --Book Report Many of the experiences of Holocaust survivors are incredible. None is more incredible than the story of a Jewish boy, Solomon Perel, who escaped from Germany to Russia, served with the Wehrmacht in Russia, was adopted by his commanding officer, and transferred to an elite Hitler Youth school. --London Jewish News A most remarkable story ...extraordinary. --The Australian This book will move human hearts. --Berliner Morgenpost
