The Inspiration Behind The Golden Globe-Winning Film

"An engrossing and memorable tale."-Jewish Book World

"The sheer emotion of telling the tale is palpable. 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
