Holocaust Hero: The Untold Story and Vignettes of Solomon Schonfeld, an Extraodinary British Orthodox Rabbi Who Rescued Four Thousand during the Holocaust
Unfortunately, I was really not very impressed with this one. I felt like the author tried too hard at times, and that his account was anything but 'hilarious,' as the praise on the back would have me believe. I am not unimpressed with his struggles, those to me seem real, authentic. I am commenting more on the style of delivery of the humor, which is too 'stand up' and misses chances to go more deeply. I appreciated Winkler's connections and commentary to classical writings about the yetzer ha-ra, but was disappointed that he generally gave 'interpretation' instead of translations, as the pieces he chose would have actually gone beautifully with his story in original/translated format. I was a bit disappointed on the re-use of several passages, as there is an incredibly wide range of literature dealing with yetzer ha-ra which might have been tapped into for alternate quotes. While honest, this is not his best work.
