Ontwitting Hitler, surviving Stalin

More about the book

Memoirs of a Jewish electrician from Tarnow (b. 1917) who survived by passing as a Pole. He was saved by being given a job, in the town of Konskie, by Olga Goehlert. His involvement with the Armia Krajowa led to his receiving a military decoration. After liberation, Spindler was imprisoned for three years by the Russians as a Polish nationalist. Eventually he was reunited with his wife, the only member of his family left alive. In the face of continued Polish antisemitism, they emigrated to Australia.
