Klappentext "I was very touched by the story beautifully told in An Uncommon Friendship. The pain and suffering brought on by the Holocaust is described in a riveting way. The book shows how a chance meeting followed by a deep friendship can lead to compassion! forgiveness! and understanding on a deeply personal level."-Barbara Boxer! United States Senator "Fritz Tubach and Bernat Rosner perfectly link the abstract horror of the Nazi death machine with the harmless-seeming! rural somnolence of European village life in the '30s. An Uncommon Friendship is tangible! real! heart-breaking! awesome. This double memoir of a German youth and the Hungarian-Jewish youth he befriended in later life is absolutely unique and stunningly beautiful."-Carolyn See! author of The Handyman "I read! admired and was gripped by the counterpoint memoirs of Bernie Rosner! a Hungarian-born survivor of Auschwitz and Mauthausen! and Fritz Tubach! the son of a Nazi German army officer. Factual! measured! unemphatic! sharply evocative! their linked stories prove extraordinarily moving. An original document not to be missed and an absorbing read."-Eugen Weber! author of The Hollow Years Zusammenfassung In 1944, 13-year-old Fritz Tubach was almost old enough to join the Hitler Youth in his German village of Kleinheubach. That same year in Tab, Hungary, 12-year-old Bernie Rosner was loaded onto a train with the rest of the village's Jewish inhabitants and taken to Auschwitz, where his whole family was murdered.
