In the Lion's Den by Nechama Tec
The biography of Oswald Rufeisen, a Polish Jew who repeatedly risked his life to save Jews and non-Jews during World War II.
'An admirable book, wrought seamlessly from solid archival research and Rufeisen's own harrowing recollections' Observer
'We owe a profound debt of gratitude to Professor Tec for painstakingly weaving her many hours of personal interviews with a somewhat reluctant Rufeisen into a moving, passionate narrative with all the earmarks of a good novel. It provides us with a powerful glimpse into the actual conditions of life in Eastern Europe during the Nazi era. In the Lion's Den deserrves a wide audience. It reveals Nechama Tec as a thoroughly accomplished literary writer as well as a sound scholar. Most of all, it shows her a profoundly sensitive Holocaust survivor, for only such a person could have captured and integrated Brother Daniel's reflections with as much intensity and depth as this volume conveys.'
