Review

176 pages, trade paperback
"So intense and authentic that [the] narrative pulls you along."
Christopher Lehman-Haupt, New York Times
That a Jew living in Nazi Berlin survived the Holocaust at all is surprising. That he was a homosexual and a teenage leader in the resistance and yet survived is amazing. But that he endured the ongoing horror with an open heart, with love and without vitriol, and has written about it so beautifully is truly miraculous. This is Gad Beck's story.
"An extraordinary tale. . . . Beck's stories of secret meetings, backstabbing betrayals and Nazi interrogations are the stuff of spy novels-only here they are real, with a hauntingly young protagonist."
Wayne Hoffman, Washington Post
"Despite the grim backdrop, Beck's reminiscences are sensual, passionate, and strangely joyful."
