Inhaltsangabe

On the night the SS rounded up the Jews of his Ukrainian ghetto, eighteen-year-old Yosel Epelbaum crawled on his hands and knees to a nearby forest. There he joined a diverse band of pro-Soviet partisans, led by a kind of warlord in the wilderness, who created a forest republic behind lines. With his courageous comrades, Epelbaum, disrupted the German war effort for almost a year and a half and saved hundreds of civilians at the same time. After the liberation the young survivor became caught up in Europe s robust black market. With little money or formal education, and knowing no English, he immigrated to San Francisco in 1947 and within a year opened an ice cream shop. Only a decade later Joe Pell was well on his way to becoming one of the leading real estate developers in Northern California. Taking risks, related in a taut and vivid style, is his story- one of loss and torment but also daring, ingenuity and uncommon resilience.
