"An unusual tale of heroism and survival during World War II"--<em>Library Journal</em>. "Ms. Tec...has a good eye for historical detail....She captures well the emotional complexity of Mr. Rufeisen's position"--<em>The New York Times Book Review</em>. This is the gripping story of Oswald Rufeisen--a Polish Jew who passed as a German, working as a translator for the German police in Poland. Using his post to aid victims of Nazi atrocities, he narrowly escaped detection and fled to a partisan unit. After the war, he moved to Israel, where he now works to bring Jews and Christians together.
