Incredible refuge survival story of the camps in Italy !,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Persistence of Hope: A True Story (Hardcover)
This is a book I couldn't put down. Its a first person narrative of a young Jewish artist and his parents running from Belgrade to Southern Italy. They were first living in refuge camps, and finally hiding in the mountains in Northern Italy running from the Nazis.
I wanted to know how they survived in the camps and who allowed them to leave and who hid them once they out in the Italian hill towns. The Italian people who hid them were amazing. Its a story of the human spirit. A man who saved his parents and brought them to America.

The Persistance of Hope,
This review is from: The Persistence of Hope: A True Story (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed this book, which is very well written and which is a fantastic testimony to the Italian people and how they treated the Jews in Italy during the Second World War under and after Mussolini.
