He leaped from trains, outran police, and hid in attics, cellars, anywhere that offered a few more seconds of safety. First he swam the River Sauer at the German-Belgian border. Later he climbed the Alps on feet so battered they froze to his socks--only to be turned back at the Swiss border. He crawled out from under the barbed wire of a French holding camp, and hid in a village in the Pyrenees while gendarmes searched it. And in the dark hours of one November morning, he escaped from a train bound for Auschwitz.Leap into Darkness is the sweeping memoir of one Jewish boy's survival, and of the family and the world he left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536537256224,"sku":"NEW0385497059","price":21.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71GlpAqOwQL.jpg?v=1777420631","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/leap-into-darkness-seven-years-on-the-run-in-wartime-europe-0385497059","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
