Escape from Tyranny: The Story of Four Brothers

More about the book

Erwin, Walter, John and Bruno Sax are four Jewish brothers who fled Czechoslovakia ahead of the Nazi German takeover, before World War II. Escaping down the Danube River during dangerous times, they reached Palestine where they enlisted in the British Army. Captured on Crete, they spent four years interned in a Prisoner of War camp in Poland, always under threat and constantly fearful for family members who had stayed behind. Surviving the war, and concerned by the Communist takeover, the brothers fled again and rebuilt their lives far from their beloved homeland, foreign soil becoming home for their children and grandchildren. A true tale of survival by four exceptional men.
