The story of the Jewish Brigade as it evolves into a daring band of Jews hunting down Nazi war criminals

The List is an exceptional work of historical fiction that brings to life the untold story of the Holocaust and the slaughter of not just Jews, but over 150,000 Serbs and Gypsies who were executed while Croatia was under fascist rule during World War II.

Martin Brosky escapes from Auschwitz and joins up with the British Jewish Brigade toward the end of the war. He meets Sylvia Harvitz, a veteran of Tito's Partisans and survivor of a Croatian concentration camp, Start Gradiska. Martin's cries for revenge parallel Sylvia's need to avenge the deaths of her parents as they travel together, carrying out reprisals in Europe, and later in South America.

Along with Mordecai, an Iranian Jew who also joins the Jewish Brigade, Martin and Sylvia become Mossad intelligence officers for Israel, carrying out their vengeful missions together.

The List brings together the names and activities of Nazis and Croatian war criminals, including Josef Mengele, who avoided prosecution for their war crimes and travelled to South America under the direction and help of the Vatican. Protected by dictators in Argentina, Chile, and Brazil, these men became targets for Martin and his Mossad agents. Readers will discover that vengeance is not without pain.
