"163256: A Memoir of Resistance" is Michael Englishman's
astonishing story of courage, resourcefulness, and moral fibre as a
Dutch Jew during World War II and its aftermath, from the Nazi
occupation of Holland in 1940, through his incarceration in
numerous death and labour camps, to his eventual liberation by
Allied soldiers in 1945 and his emigration to Canada. Surviving by
his wits, Englishman escaped death time and again, committing
daring acts of bravery to do what he thought was right--helping
other prisoners escape and actively participating in the
underground resistance.
A man who refused to surrender his spirit despite the loss of
his wife and his entire family to the Nazis, Englishman kept a
promise he had made to a friend, and sought his friend's children
after the war. With the children's mother, he made a new life in
Canada, where he continued his resistance, tracking neo-Nazi cells
and infiltrating their headquarters to destroy their files.
Until his death in August 2007, Englishman remained active,
speaking out against racism and hatred in seminars for young
people. His gripping story should be widely read and will be of
interest to scholars of auto/biography, World War II history, and
the Holocaust.
