Hungry, fearless, and determined, Chaim goes on scavenging missions outside the wire fence--where one day he is forced to kill a Nazi guard to protect his secret. That moment changes the course of his life and sets him on an unbelievable adventure across enemy lines. Chaim avoids grenade and rifle fire on the Russian border, shelters with a German family in the Rhineland, falls in love in occupied France, is captured on a mountain pass in Spain, gets interrogated as a potential Nazi spy in Britain, and eventually fights for everything he believes in as part of the British Army. He protects his life by posing as an Aryan boy with a crucifix around his neck, and fights for his life through terrible and astonishing circumstances. Escape from the Ghetto is about a normal boy who faced extermination by the Nazis in the ghetto and a Nazi death camp, and the extraordinary life he led in avoiding that fate. It's a bittersweet story about epic hope, beauty amidst horror, and the triumph of the human spirit" -- |cInside jacket. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Herszman, Chaim. 600 10 Herszman, Chaim |xChildhood and youth. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zPoland |zŁódź |vBiography. 650 0 Jewish ghettos |zPoland |zŁódź |xHistory. 650 0 Holocaust survivors |zGreat Britain |vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vBiography. 610 10 Great Britain. |bArmy |vBiography. 650 0 Soldiers |zGreat Britain |vBiography. 650 0 Jewish soldiers |zGreat Britain |vBiography. 650 0 Jewish children in the Holocaust |vBiography. 651 0 Litzmannstadt-Getto (Łódź, Poland) 650 6 Holocauste, 1939-1945 |0(CaQQLa)201-0011801 |zPologne |zŁódź |0(CaQQLa)201-0493641 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 Ghettos |0(CaQQLa)201-0219713 |zPologne |zŁódź |0(CaQQLa)201-0493641 |xHistoire. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 Survivants de l'Holocauste |0(CaQQLa)201-0128408 |zGrande-Bretagne |0(CaQQLa)201-0441031 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0380813 610 16 Grande-Bretagne. |bArmy |0(CaQQLa)201-0220235 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 Enfants juifs pendant l'Holocauste |0(CaQQLa)201-0285882 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 Militaires juifs |0(CaQQLa)201-0075194 |zGrande-Bretagne |0(CaQQLa)201-0441031 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 610 17 Great Britain. |bArmy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00533555 650 7 Childhood and youth of a person. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01185271 650 7 Holocaust survivors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958838 650 7 Jewish children in the Holocaust. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00982706 650 7 Jewish ghettos. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00982786 650 7 Soldiers. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01125233 651 7 Great Britain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 Poland |zŁódź. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01209506 647 7 Jewish Holocaust |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 655 2 Autobiography. |0(DNLM)D020493 655 7 Autobiographies (literary genre) |2aat |0(CMalG-V)300080104 655 7 Autobiographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Autobiographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 700 1 Herszman, Chaim, |eauthor. 758 |ihas work:ESCAPE FROM THE GHETTO (Text) |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PD3D9XrxfhHT6MYDJDKDdHC |4https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork 852 0 |bscstacks |hDS134.72.H45 |iC37 2022
