Description: "Through personal accounts, surviving family correspondence, and twenty-seven illustrations, One Step Ahead: A Jewish Fugitive in Hitler's Europe recounts the story of a family destroyed and a family reconstituted during the Holocaust. Focusing on the kind of details no Holocaust survivor can ever forget, Alfred Feldman recalls his daily life and flight into exile. Feldman shares his devastating memories here with all the horror and hope of the man who lived to tell his story.

His memoir conveys the searing pain that has never left him, while demonstrating the subtle humor and triumphant humanity of a survivor. One Step Ahead recounts the evil of a powerful few, as well as the courage of simple people who refused to accept the anti-Semitic efforts of their governments, choosing instead to conceal and aid hundreds of exiles, ensuring their survival."--BOOK JACKET.
