- Summary:
- As a young Jewish man, Freddie Knoller lived through World War Two by unusual means and in extraordinary circumstances. After escaping Vienna as a teenage Jewish refugee he spent most of World War Two living in the heart of occupied Paris with Nazi officers and Montmartre prostitutes, until the conflict eventually caught up with him. Fighting as part of the French Resistance, Freddie was betrayed and faced the horror of the concentration camps. Finally freed in April 1945, he weighed little more than six stone. Telling his own story, in his own words, Freddie draws on intense memories that have defined him as a man to reveal the incredible adventure of his early life.
