Overview
Evading the Nazis tells the story of a Jewish boy who lived in German-occupied France during World War II and the period that followed the liberation of Europe by the Allies. The author recounts some of the dangerous situations he faced during these years and how he eventually went into hiding on an isolated farm in Normandy where he stayed until the end of the war. In the years which followed the liberation, he entered a rabbinical seminary and he became a rabbi in the United States. The account is interspersed with vivid descriptions of how French people reacted to the presence of a foreign army in their country and how righteous individuals took upon themselves to save Jews from persecution, often at the risk of their lives.Synopsis
