Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
"Inventively structured and impeccably written, THE TRUE ADVENTURES OF GIDON LEV is a must-read book for anyone interested in Holocaust narratives."
IndieReader (five-star review)
From Prague to New York to California and back to Israel, The True Adventures of Gidon Lev is the moving story of an extraordinary Holocaust survivor and the writer who loved him. Of the 15,000 children in the Nazi concentration camp of Theresienstadt in the Czech Republic, fewer than 100 survived. Gidon Lev is one of those children. A quirky, inspirational story of hope, Gidon's story is also a primer on Jewish culture and history. Part memoir and part Israel and Middle East travelogue, The True Adventures of Gidon Lev is a love letter about a late in life romance and a celebration of the resilience and reinvention of the human spirit.
