Theo Tschuy, Simon Wiesenthal

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2000

Well written
Well written and intense story of a true hero. Theo Tschuy spent numerous years and traveled behind the iron curtain to conduct research for this book. He met Carl Lutz personally and considered Mr. Lutz's story too tremendous to not write about The book flows easily and is a must for history buffs everywhere. Thanks, Uncle Theo!
