Maskerado - Dancing around Death in Nazi Hungary

Written in Esperanto in the early '60s, this compelling account of survival is told by a Budapest lawyer who secured fake Christian identities for his family following the invasion of the Germans in March 1944. In a narrative reminiscent of the great Primo Levi, Soros views his experiences with a beguiling humour, deep humanity and a wisdom that is humbling. Maskerado is a unique testament of the Holocaust - of how one man managed not only to escape, but to retain his integrity, compassion, family unity and humour by 'dancing around death'.
