"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 thickets of fictional and semi fictional accounts of Vrba's remarkable escaped that have obscured the historical truth until now."
