About the Book

Having fled the vicious, anti-Semitic Nazi hordes of 1938 Austria to live in France, the war and the German juggernaut catches up with Peter Kaufmann once more. He mounts his bicycle, narrowly escapes being pulverized by German bombs on the rural roads of France, and is eventually arrested and thrown into what threatens to become a Nazi style concentration camp in Southern France. He despairs of ever being set free again to rejoin his parents, to cross the Ocean, and reach The Promised Land, America!

But miracles do happen . . .
