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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeap into Darkness\u003c\/b\u003e is the sweeping memoir of one Jewish boy's survival, and of the family and the world he left behind.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62342091407747,"sku":"9780385497053","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780385497053.jpg?v=1786172079","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/leap-into-darkness-9780385497053","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
