«``In an appendix to this fine memoir, Michael Englishman (Engelschman) lists the members of his immediate family who were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.... He survived in part because he was an electrician: his technical skills made him valuable.... He also developed...a keen sense of self-preservation [which] he used for his own benefit, but also to save the lives of others--he was able to get a number of his fellow prisoners transferred to safer work details.... Englishman emigrated to Canada after the war, and continued his fight against fascism by doing educational work and by taking on neo-Nazi groups. With this powerful memoir, his work continues.'' -- Canadian Military History, Book Review Supplement, Autumn 2009, 201004»
