Summary ""An unusual tale of heroism and survival during World War II""--Library Journal. ""Ms. Tec ... has a good eye for historical detail ... She captures well the emotional complexity of Mr. Rufeisen's position""--The New York Times Book Review. This is the gripping story of Oswald Rufeisen--a Polish Jew who passed as a German, working as a translator for the German police in Poland. Using his post to aid victims of Nazi atrocities, he narrowly escaped detection and fled to a partisan unit.
