A very moving story of survival and love

Oscar Scherzer did us a favor by writing of his exploits of over 60 years prior. As time passes, we tend to forget some of these atrocities. Personal accounts like Mr. Scherzer's will live on forever. A must read for everyone.

Eye opener

This breathaking report written by a 19 year-old should serve as an eye opener for young people all over the world: Not only does it reveal lots of shocking details around the "Anschluss" of Austria in 1938 - it also tells a wonderful love-story. I simply couldn't put the book down before I'd finished. A must for anyone between 14 an 99!

A fascinating tale

Mr. Scherzer relates his remarkable life-story frankly and honestly. As a historical work, and a testament to human perseverance, this is an important work. Mr. Scherzer recalls details and scenarios with great clarity.A central love story also adds emotional depth to an already powerful memoir.
