The True Adventures of Gidon Lev

Julie Gray

Of the 15,000 children in the Nazi concentration camp of Theresienstadt, fewer than 92 survived. Gidon Lev is one of those children. One part memoir, one part travelogue, and one part history that you thought you knew, The True Adventures of Lev is the quirky story of a Holocaust survivor and the writer who loved him.
