"[A] fine book, a small yet significant contribution to the massive literature of the Holocaust. It takes a few minutes to get used to the contrast in narrative voices, but in no time the reader is wholly engaged in these two men's 'perilous journey' to discover not merely the past but also themselves. Though it is, in effect, a double autobiography, it is completely devoid of self-absorption, and there is absolutely no reason to believe that profit from the book's sales had anything to do with either man's participation in it; indeed, AN UNCOMMON FRIENDSHIP comes as close to being a selfless book as any other of recent vintage that I can recall."Rosner, Bernat is the author of 'Uncommon Friendship From Opposite Sides of the Holocaust', published 2001 under ISBN 9780520225312 and ISBN 0520225317.
