"At long last a worthy biography of one of the most fascinating and important figures in Holocaust History—Rudi Vrba. Alan Twigg not only pulls together many new sources to illuminate Vrba’s life before and after his escape from Auschwitz-Birkenau. He also guides the reader through the thicket of fictional and semi-fictional accounts of Vrba’s remarkable escape that have obscured the historical truth until now."
- Christopher R. Browning, historian

“A true citizen of the world.”
– Sir Martin Gilbert, historian

“One of the heroes of the Holocaust”
– Yehuda Bauer, Academic Advisor to Yad Vashem
