The Forger: An Extraordinary Story of Survival in Wartime Berlin
Cioma Schönhaus - 2004
Yet, even as the Gestapo posted his photo in public, he lived a daring life, replete with fine restaurants & beautiful women, all the while managing to elude the Nazis. Breathtakingly bold, Schönhaus talked his way out of an arrest, defended Jewish diners being harassed by the police, & ultimately fled Germany by bicycling to Switzerland. Schönhaus’ story--his courageous exploits that saved so many, as many others around him were deported, one by one, to the concentration camps--is an astonishing tale of wartime heroism & survival.
