Escape: A WWII Novel of Fleeing Nazis and Avenging Jews

by William Burr

Escape is a vivid historical novel about Daniel, a Jewish man, who lived under the protection of a Catholic monsignor in Greece during the war, hidden from the Nazis, and sent away as the country turns chaotic prior to the end of the European war. Faction fights faction, all to the disadvantage of the Jews who, one way or another, survived WWII amid anarchy. He meets Sofia, another escaping Jew, and by chance assume the role of priest and nun. Uruguay becomes their destination and they, as clergy, are accepted as useful by escaped Nazis who lust for a new order they call the Fourth Reich. Never knowing who is friend or foe, they fight to stay alive in an atmosphere of deceit and intrigue. With Daniel and Sofia's help, escaped war criminals, Adolf Eichmann, Heinrich Muller, and Odilo Globocnik are discovered hiding in Uruguay. They advise agents of Israel's Mossad who sprit them away to Tel Aviv. Justice is served as all are swept into a battle between good and evil.
