Greece was overtaken by the Nazis, and one of the country's most famous athletes, with his family, are on the run because they are Jewish. Where best to safe-keep the ten gold medals won by Isaac Cohen? No one would suspect Isaac's six year old son, Laiki, of hiding this precious cargo that might help get them to safety. So, with only the clothes they can wear and the medals safely hidden, the real life adventure begins.

In the late 1980s, Holocaust literature emerged as a provocative, but poorly defined, scholarly field. The essays in this volume reflect the increasingly international and pluridisciplinary nature of this scholarship and the widening of the definition of Holocaust literature to include comic books, fiction, film, and poetry, as well as the more traditional diaries, memoirs, and journals. Ten contributors from four countries engage issues of authenticity, evangelicalism, morality, representation, personal experience, and wish-fulfillment in Holocaust literature, which have been the subject of controversies in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Of interest to students and instructors of antisemitism, national and comparative literatures, theater, film, history, literary criticism, religion, and Holocaust studies, this book also contains an extensive bibliography with references in over twenty languages which seeks to inspire further research in an international context.
