Kasztner's Train

Fülszöveg

"Every once in a long while a book comes along that makes history so real that it trumps fiction. Kasztner's Train easily falls into that category, and it is Anna Porter's consummate art as a storyteller that makes this true tale so compelling. This is a must read that must become a must-see movie." PETER C. NEWMAN, author and Holocaust escapee ¦ "Kasztner's Train is Schindler's List-plus. Brilliant read. Brilliant history. Brilliant Portén" GEORGE JONAS, author of fourteen books including Vengeance, the basis for the film Munich ¦ "This is the remarkable, largely unknown story of a man who saved more Jews during the Holocaust than Oskar Schindler.

IRVING ABELLA, Shiff Chair of Canadian Jewish History at York University and co-author ofNone Is Too Many: Canada and the Jews of Europe, 1933-1948 m "The daring deal-making of Rezső Kasztner shattered all the rules. In the end, he accomplished 'more in his way than any other individual in Nazi-occupied Europe.' It is a tale of breathtaking chutzpa, dark intrigue, humán frailty and devastating clashes of personality, and Porter brings it to life with impeccable morál taste." MICHAEL R.
