The Auschwitz Escape

Joel C. Rosenberg (Get this book)
The strong religious conviction evident in Rosenberg's previous novels, which were focused on the Middle East and Muslim-Western relations, is reflected in his latest book a work of historical fiction, about a heroic escape from the Nazis. Luc, a French pastor, who is sentenced to the Auschwitz death camp for helping Jews, joins forces with Jacob, a Jewish man sent to the camp after his attempt to hijack a train bound for Auschwitz fails. Together they plan to escape to tell an unbelieving world about the Holocaust. Rosenberg has done what he does best: create believable characters set in a political milieu and also in religious context, acting on conviction or exploiting religion for selfish or evil ends. This is Rosenberg's most deeply moving work to date. --Publisher's Weekly
