About The Author

John Carr is Henry Carr's eldest son. Now living in London, he grew up in Yorkshire, was a leading member of the GLC, and as an advocate for Internet security has been an advisor to the UN, the EU and Big Tech, and is currently a Visiting Senior Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science. In a touching afterword to the brilliant first-person narrative he has recreated, he tells of how his father put his war years behind him, never telling his children of their Jewish origins; of their extraordinary reconciliation in later life; of Henry's reunions with his surviving brother and oldest friend Cesek ; and of John's painstaking work to corroborate this authentic story.

Trust me, this is a great true story

It's a bittersweet story about epic hope, beauty amidst horror, and the triumph of the human spirit.'Utterly Compelling. It is an extraordinary tale, brilliantly written' – Alastair StewartBaroness Julia Neuberger 'passionate and spellbinding, and an absolute must read'Jewish Chronicle 'It deserves to be ranked among the great survival stories of the Second World War'
