Escape to Freedom
A moving story of defying the nightmare of the Holocaust, escaping to freedom, and retaining the strength to build a purposeful new life. (George Salton)The Species ought to be grateful that Leon Rubinstein's memory is so sharp and his writing so strong. (Daniel A. Rose)Rubinstein...brings attention to what he calls 'the ultimate obscenity of mankind'...The whole saga of his narrow escape is spellbinding. (Tom CollinsThe Palm Beach Post)Leon Rubinstein'sEscape to Freedomis something above and beyond a conventional Holocaust memoir. ...the story itself would make a great movie. ...He talks frequently to school groups, so that they may understand the events of 60 and 70 years ago directly, in a way that will leave no room for doubt. (Scott Eyman, Books EditorThe Palm Beach Post)In a testimony at once incredible and truthful, Leon Rubinstein weaves the facts of history with his own personal history, building a positive vision of tolerance and understanding for future generations. More than a Holocaust memoir,Escape to Freedomis a loving lesson in the moral energy of memory. Rubinstein's compelling story is entirely engaging on every level.
