False Papers
"One of the most unusual and boldest tales of survival that we have. It is quite simply a great reading adventure." Christopher R. Browning, author of Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland "False Papers is an extraordinary story of a family's ingenious struggle to outsmart the Nazis against great odds. Robert Melson has brought us the wit, humor, terror, and honesty of his parents in a way that engages the reader page after page. This is a deeply human and morally important book." Peter Balakian, author of The Black Dog of Fate
