About Escape from the Edge by Morris Schnitzer - Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Collection

Narrow escapes and bold decisions define the life of teenager Morris Schnitzer. Fleeing from Nazi Germany before the onset of World War II, Morris ends up in the Netherlands only to watch the country be invaded by the Nazis. With his father’s warning to never set foot in a concentration camp echoing in his mind, Morris resolves to fight — and survive. As he assumes false identities and crosses endless borders in search of safety, Morris never acquiesces to the Nazi occupiers in Western Europe. In his epic journey to Escape from the Edge, Morris endures imprisonment and gruelling work as a farmhand, joins the resistance in Belgium and ultimately enlists in the American army, vowing to take revenge for all that he has lost. This is a three-chapter sample. For more information and to purchase the full audiobook, visit: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/729996/escape-from-the-edge-by-morris-schnitzer/9781039008540
