Very entertaining read. Highly recommended for anyone interested in WWII.
Rarely has the old saw about war making strange bedfellows been more
appropriate than in this story of a small 16-year-old Jewish boy and
one of rural Poland's most notorious criminals, Jan Kopec. Stillman has
found a very different kind of Holocaust story, full of drama and
adventure. When Hitler's army invaded Poland in 1939, Goldner and his
rural Jewish family were spared from immediate roundup. But by 1943, he
had witnessed his mother and sister being herded onto a train and been
left for dead beneath his father's body, both of them shot and
bayoneted by a collaborator who had been one of his father's childhood
friends. After Kopec, Goldner's unlikely rescuer, nursed him back to
health, the pair began an 18-month partnership in which Kopec received
money from partisans for having Goldner carry out acts of sabotage
against the Nazis. His small size, courage and ability to learn-Kopec
trained his young charge in marksmanship, a renegade German soldier
taught him fluent German and a Gypsy trained him in hand-to-hand
combat-resulted in impressive victories for area partisans. Goldner
blew up trains and bridges used by the Nazi army and photographed Jews
arriving at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Stillman has done a remarkable job
tracking down what little documentation exists in order to corroborate
Goldner's unique story, making a trip to the region, meeting with
former neighbors and with the children and grandchildren of Jan Kopec.
