Five years into the war, Burger crossed the Alps into Italy and joined the Partisans, a group of Italian Resistance fighters who battled the Nazis from the mountains in northwest Italy. Taking the name Biancastella, which means "white star" in Italian, Burger, along with other Resistance fighters, was able to fight back, sabotaging German operations, mounting defensive attacks, and capturing and punishing many of the Nazis who would have him dead. Despite an upbringing that ill-prepared him for life on the run, Burger successfully avoided Nazi capture through seven brutal and uncertain years of war. His is a thrilling tale of courage and survival.

Child Survivors of the Holocaust in Israel : Social Dynamics and Post-War Experiences - "Finding Their Voice"

This is the first exploration into the experience of child survivors in Israel, focusing on the child survivors’ experience in telling their past to a wider audience and in publicly identifying themselves as Holocaust survivors. Whilst psychological research focuses on survivor’s personal inhibitions and motivations in retelling their past, the book attempts to understand the impact that the post-war environment has had on the individual’s relationship to it. Using a qualitative narrative approach, this study examines the dynamics of 'silence' and 'retelling' in the post-war experience of child survivors. It demonstrates the ways in which social dynamics, as well as internal motivations, had an impact on the extent to which these people were likely to speak publicly about their war-time experience or whether they were more inclined to remain silent. The interviews with survivors are presented 'using their own voice', and can thereby be understood in their own unique context. The result is a unique work that synthesises social science fields as disparate as history and psychology.
