I AM JUDEN: UNDERCOVER IN THE SS
Best-selling true story of the Jew who posed as a Nazi guard in the Ghetto & Auschwitz, saving lives with the Resistance. Info here:

The Ghetto fightbacks were astonishing, but where are their stories? Hollywood prefers the myth of the Righteous Gentile. Every agent told me, "No market for tales of Jewish Resistance" . I AM JUDEN spent 6 months as a UK Bestseller. Thank you for proving the agents wrong.
