Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

This book is suited for readers interested in Holocaust history, World War II diplomacy, and Israeli political history. It offers in-depth insights for those keen on understanding lesser-known resistance efforts and the complexities of early Israeli politics.

Trapped by Evil and Deceit is a historical account of true events that reads like a political thriller.Amazingly, a few Jews successfully saved thousands of lives during the holocaust. After barely surviving, they were ostracized and even murdered in Israel to conceal the inaction of the political elite.

Description

When the Holocaust broke out in Europe, Hansi and Joel Brand were joined by Israel (Rezs) Kasztner to launch an organised effort to save thousands of human lives. Their efforts, which involved playing a dangerous bluffing game against the Nazi regime, helped to end the Auschwitz extermination.

Their success put them at odds with the political machine of the young state of Israel. Politicians wanted the public to believe that there was nothing they could do, a sentiment which many still believe to this day. This cover-up led to Israel's first politically-motivated homicide.

Trapped by Evil and Deceit is a riveting account of bravery and betrayal during one of history's darkest periods.
