An incredible tale of one man's adversity and defiance, for readers
of The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Horace Greasley escaped over 200
times from a notorious German prison camp to see the girl he loved.
This is his incredible true story. A Sunday Times Bestseller - over
60,000 copies sold. Even in the most horrifying places on earth,
hope still lingers in the darkness, waiting for the opportunity to
take flight. When war was declared Horace Greasley was just
twenty-years old. After seven weeks' training with the 2/5th
Battalion, the Royal Leicestershire Regiment, Horace found himself
facing the might of the German Army in a muddy field south of
Cherbourg, in northern France, with just thirty rounds in his
ammunition pouch. Horace's war didn't last long. . . On 25 May 1940
he was taken prisoner and so began the harrowing journey to a
prisoner-of-war camp in Poland. Those who survived the gruelling
ten-week march to the camp were left broken and exhausted, all
chance of escape seemingly extinguished. But when Horace met Rosa,
the daughter of one of his captors, his story changed; fate, it
seemed, had thrown him a lifeline. Horace risked everything in
order to steal out of the camp to see his love, bringing back
supplies for his fellow prisoners. In doing so he offered hope to
his comrades, and defiance to one of the most brutal regimes in
history.
