To Run For Life From Swastika And Red Star

Days after the German invasion of Poland in1939, the author and his father, after brief military service, found themselves fleeing before the German tanks while being incessantly terrorized by air strikes. Their harrowing flight took them across Poland to the Russian border and temporary safety under the Soviets. As the Russians began deporting Polish intelligentsia, the author and his father fled through Romania to freedom in Palestine. This is Reisfeld's eyewitness account of those devastating events following the outbreak of World War II and the beginning of the Jewish people's trial in the flames of the Holocaust.
