The Inspiration Behind The Golden Globe-Winning Film“An engrossing and memorable tale.”-Jewish Book World
“The sheer emotion of telling the tale is palpable. The whole is moving, and strange beyond belief.” -The Times (London)
International acclaim for Solomon Perel's Europa Europa
The wrenching memoir of a young man who survived the Holocaust by concealing his Jewish identity and finding unexpected refuge as a member of the Hitler Youth.
“It is a Holocaust memoir that is moving, straightforward, and quite completely bizarre, unsettling in all kinds of assumptions about identity, responsibility, and guilt.” -Glasgow Herald
“Perel bares his soul to readers in this fascinating, unusual personal narrative of the Holocaust.” -Book Report
“Many of the experiences of Holocaust survivors are incredible. None is more incredible than the story of a Jewish boy, Solomon Perel, who escaped from Germany to Russia, served with the Wehrmacht in Russia, was adopted by his commanding officer, and transferred to an elite Hitler Youth school.” -London Jewish News
“A most remarkable story . . . extraordinary.” -The Australian
“This book will move human hearts.” -Berliner Morgenpost

Quotes

  • aacostajhas quoted5 years ago
    I hated the Nazi regime and rejected it completely, and yet I was well disposed toward these men. Despite my fervent prayers for their quick defeat and for the rescue of my family and my fellow Jews, I felt a remarkable affection for them. This must be completely incomprehensible to someone who sees things from a one-dimensional perspective.
