Jew Be or Not Jew Be: the Story of a Perpetual Alien. Book 1 Under Hitler's Shadow Peter Oszmann

Jew Be or Not Jew Be is an autobiographical novel, a compelling true story of an assimilated Hungarian middle class Jewish family. It documents aspects of life, escape and survival within the history of the Holocaust. Seen through the eyes of a young child it describes sometimes sad, sometimes poignant events and at other times hilariously comic moments of sheer defiance in the face of adversity. It is a moving testament not only to Man's inhumanity to Man, but also to the human will to survive. Rabbi Julia Neuberger commented in a letter to the author about his book: "I can't believe how long I've had your book-and here is at last my view on it. First, I much enjoyed it, if enjoyed is the right term.-I learned, laughed, and cried."
