Description:
Paul Tessel lived a self-proclaimed idyllic life in Latvia. A happy child, he had parents who loved him, some good friends, and siblings he could horse around with. But, even with the quiet spector of anti-Semitism surrounding him, Paul and his family were not prepared for the explosion of communism followed by the terror of Hitler that ensued with World War II.
Expand description
Paul and his brother Zale fled their hometown to escape and to survive. Flight From Hell is the story of their struggle to eat, to sleep, to stay healthy, and to stay together -- at any cost. And while the two brothers run from city to city to evade the Nazis, the police, and even ordinary citizens who sell their souls to communism, they never lose their senses of humor, their will to survive, and their hope.
That a world like this could ever exist -- and, in some places, still does -- is sadly remarkable; that Paul Tessel can relate this story with such a clear voice and keen mind, considering all he went through -- is astounding in it's hopefulness. Flight From Hell is both.
