Opis: Rescued from the Reich - Bryan Mark Rigg, P Hyman

The escape of ultra-orthodox Jewish leader Rebbe Schneersohn from Hitler's Warsaw in 1939 has always been a subject of speculation. This book uncovers the true story of the rescue and the heroic role of the part-Jewish German soldier who led the operation.
