As a young Jewish man, Freddie Knoller lived through World War II by unusual means and in extraordinary circumstances. After escaping Vienna as a teenage Jewish refugee he spent most of WWII living in the heart of occupied Paris with Nazi officers and Montmartre prostitutes, until the conflict eventually caught up with him. Fighting as part of the French Resistance,Knoller was betrayed and faced the horror of the concentration camps. Finally freed in April 1945, he weighed little more than 85 pounds. Telling his own story, in his own words,Knoller draws on intense memories that have defined him as a man to reveal the incredible adventure of his early life.
