- Summary:
- "Holocaust Hero: The Life & Times of Rudolf Vrba is the introductory volume for a biography project to examine the remarkable life of Rudolf Vrba; including his decorated service with the partisans, his love affairs, his two marriages, his accomplishments as a Nazi hunter and his iconoclastic stamina to always speak the truth about the Holocaust. Compiled over a five-year period by a journalist who knew Vrba, Holocaust Hero provides previously unrevealed information about Vrba based on research at the FDR Presidential Library in New York and interviews with those who knew him, including Robin Vrba, his wife of 31 years, who speaks candidly about her husband for the first time."-- Provided by publisher.
