Description: 163256 : a memoir of resistance is Michael Englishman's astonishing story of courage, resourcefulness, and moral fibre as a Dutch Jew during World War II and its aftermath. It begins with the Nazi occupation of Holland in 1940 and continues through his incarceration in numerous death and labour camps, where, surviving by his wits, he escapes death time and again. Committing daring acts of bravery to do what he thought was right, Englishman helps other prisoners escape and actively participates in the underground resistance"--P. [4] of cover.
