Presents the author's story of courage and resourcefulness as a Dutch Jew during World War II and its aftermath, from the Nazi occupation of Holland in 1940, through his incarceration in numerous death and labour camps, to his eventual liberation by Allied soldiers and his emigration to Canada.


This is Michael Englishman's astonishing story of courage and resourcefulness as a Dutch Jew during World War II and its aftermath, from the Nazi occupation of Holland in 1940, through his incarceration in numerous death and labour camps, to his eventual liberation by Allied soldiers and his emigration to Canada. Surviving by his wits, Englishman escaped death time and again, committing daring acts of bravery to do what he thought was right - helping other prisoners escape and joining the underground resistance. He refused to surrender his spirit despite the loss of his wife and his entire family to the Nazis. Englishman kept a promise he had made to a friend, and sought his friend's children after the war. With the children's mother, he made a new life in Canada, where he continued his resistance, tracking neo-Nazi cells and infiltrating their headquarters to destroy their files. Today, Englishman remains active, speaking out against racism and hatred.
