Summary: Leap Into Darkness
Comment: full of surprises, turnes and twists is this true story of World War 11. My heart pounded as I read Leo's harrowing tale of escape. It is with both pleasure and pride to say that I personally know this man. He has been a friend of my family for many years. I never knew the true extent of what he had to endure just to survive until I read this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: This is a fast-paced, well written, story of survival.
Comment: I came across this book at a Baltimore bookstore on the day the authors were doing a signing, and was very pleased. This is the story of a young Jewish man and his flight for life across Europe during the Nazi invasion. The book is gripping as Mr. Bretholz is dealt one fate after another during his many attempts to outrun the Nazis. The tension mounts as you follow Mr. Bretholz through the horrifying adventure of Nazi Germany and run in his footsteps. I've read numerous books about World War II, but this is the first that to give me a true sense of seeing the horror first hand as it unfolded. It is a tragic personal adventure that will bring you to tears as you experience the inhumanities and tragedies of the war and then share in the author's final triumph of coming to America. I've read two memoirs this year, this one and Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes. While they are two very different tragic stories, they are among the better books I have read in quite some time.
Rating: 5
Summary: Absolutely unbelievable
Comment: Leap into Darkness was about a young boy fleeing Europe before, during , and after WWII. Leo Bretholz is an amazing and courages individual. I had the opportunity to speak to Leo when he visted my sociology college class "Holocuast and Global Rasism" He is a true miracle and his story tells it all.
