This is a true story of a Jewish slave who survived years of terror under Nazi rule, eventually escaping to fight for the Russians, who designated him as overlord of a captured enemy town, where he would wreak his revenge against those enemies he captured, while grappling with the moral dilemma of deciding the fate of those who committed atrocities. As the author, I was always troubled by the lack of Jewish resistance. Aaron reveals the answer as to why, largely unknown until now. I felt compelled to write this book and explain why many of the six million Jews could have escaped murder, and to unveil the epic struggles of one man who did resist - Aaron, who achieved a reversal of fortune - from slave to master.
Aaron Herskowitz tells his story to his son, Howard, who recorded interviews with his father about his survival during World War II and his journey from slave to master...
From the town of Bilke, across the then-Soviet Union and back again, Aaron's Journey began in 1939, and traced the Nazi Hungarian offensive and retreat from the Russians.
