The previous reviewer made this remark, "despite the hardships and horror that was the Romanian Holocaust ... Jagendorf was basically full of himself." He didn't understand much about Romanian Holocaust or about Jagendorf's personality. Jagendorf's gamble was to risk all the consequences of collaborating with Nazi beasts in order to save the lives of tenth of thousands of Jews. In the post-war time, when the commissars accused Jagendorf of collaborating with nazis, while dismissing his enormous merit, he was trying to save his life by being "full of himself" in writing. Besides, even great heroes have their vanities. Meanwhile, the life and personality of Siegfried Jagendorf made him a much better candidate for a hero of a Holocaust motion picture than the one Mr. Spielberg choose - Oskar Schindler. Sixty four years after the Holocaust it is time to make justice to the real hero who was Siegfried Jagendorf. The book deserves five stars for the depth and a very difficultly achievable historical accuracy of one out of many aspects of the Holocaust
