The Nazi, the Princess, and the Shoemaker

This extraordinary memoir recounts Binem's remarkable survival story during the Holocaust, detailing his childhood in Poland, his daring escape from a German labor camp, and the various identities he assumed to evade capture. The narrative captures both the hardships and moments of hope and kindness, including the opportunities he found amidst adversity and his efforts to protect those around him. Based on recordings from the 1980s and interviews with Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation, the book offers a heartfelt and unflinching account of resilience in the face of unimaginable danger.
