Produktbeschreibung
A Resistance Fighter's Cry for Freedom Growing up in an assimilated Jewish family, Jan Piechocki - later Yohay Remetz - lived a peaceful and humble life in Warsaw. Yet when the brutal Nazi Regime grew in power, all hell broke loose, resulting in Jan's entrapment in the Warsaw Ghetto together with his mother and brother. Struggling to survive as a rickshaw driver in the ghetto, Jan escapes his harrowing and destitute environment in July 1942 before it is ruthlessly liquidated, sealing the fate of his family. Jan later finds himself in the Aryan side of Warsaw, where he ensures his own survival by seeking refuge in several hiding places, taking on a fake Aryan identity, and using this identity to become recruited as a sentry in a German Air-Force airfield. The narrative follows his ingenious methods at outsmarting his enemies and his courageous efforts to fight against Nazi brutality when he joins the Polish resistance movement. Remetz is an enthralling memoir about hope and survival; it teaches us about the resilience of the human spirit despite the trauma it endures. Remetz commemorates Jan's outstanding bravery and honors the history of Warsaw's Jewry.
Autorenporträt
Yohay Jan Remetz was born and raised in pre-WWII Warsaw. Upon the German invasion into Poland he was locked up in the Warsaw ghetto with his family, struggling to sustain daily under the brutal Nazi occupation. Determined to survive, he fled the ghetto, and with endless bravery and wit, took on a Christian identity which eventually led him to work as a German airfield-guard. Under this fake identity he later joined the Polish resistance movement against the Nazis, thereby fulfilling the last two commands of his deceased aunt: survive and avenge.
