Synopsis
Most Holocaust survival stories are based on characters who, by the grace of God, survived the horrors of the Death Camps and were able to describe the brutality and torture they had have endured as well as the fate of million of other innocent victims that died in the gas chambers. This book describes a very different survival story. It is the tale of a Jewish family during the German occupation of Greece, who decided, early on, that the best way to escape deportation and ultimately survive was to resist. This is a tale of defiance, courage and stubborn refusal to obey the German directives that were designed to lead an entire Jewish population like lambs to the slaughter. It is a compelling story as seen through the eyes of a young boy that was suddenly snatched from a life of comfort and forced to assume roles that no one had prepared him for and to become a thief, a saboteur, a black marketeer and a resistance fighter. The heroine of this story is the mother, who became a widow at the age of 41 after her husband was killed fighting for the Greek resistance. Despite her aristocratic background and affluent parents she was able to adapt to the dire circumstances of the German occupation take the reins and lead the family through an extraordinary voyage of constant danger, starvation, hiding and resistance. This long journey involved many close calls and narrow escapes. Her ability to remain calm and not cave in when facing the most dangerous challenges and situations was a major factor in our successfully eluding capture and ultimately survive. Starting with the brief period of calm, affluence and comfort that preceded the Bulgarian invasion of Greece our story guides the reader through a complex, intriguing and cunning escape route that involved being exiled three times, living in constant danger and uncertainty and constantly running at times one step away from the captors. By joining the resistance movement each member of the family faced its own challenges and managed to survive, sometimes due to a blatant and naïve ignorance of the dangers involved and at other times due to circumstances were lady luck played its role This story is woven in the fabric of perhaps not very well known facts about Greece's struggle for independence from the armies of occupation. The nature and composition of the major resistance units is revealed as well as the historic roles, origins, and ultimate fate of the Jewish population of Greece. It is a story of intrigue, courage and adventure, at time humorous, at times sad but always interesting and exiting.

    A very trustworthy and communicative seller! The price of the books he sold me was so incredible, that I couldn't believe it until I received them. Books arrived in amazing condition (better than the photos conveyed) and the price and speed of shipping was the best I think I've had on eBay -- books arrived over 20 days before they were supposed to! Will buy from this seller again if I see an item I would like.
