I COULD NOT STOP READING. Your capacity to weave into the factual account of this tragic period the drama and intenstity of the relationship between Shosha and Iakob is remarkable. Your book not only serves to remind of what truly transpired during those remarkable days, but it will serve to introduce in a most dramatic and accurate manner younger persons to one of the most significant acts of resistance in the history of the Jewish people.

A TOUR DE FORCE, whose stunning sorties into Jewish, Catholic, German, and other histories light the way like brilliant street lamps. The overwhelming clarity and detail of the narrative served to drive a skeptic like me to keep reading, to find out what kind of yarn was being spun. The author’s ability to push the reader to the edge of comprehension, to the limit of one’s own reality testing, is a form of magic.
