Ernst Leitz II ( the photography industry s Schindler ) not only designed and manufactured Germany s most famous camera, but also saved hundreds of Jewish lives from certain death during the Holocaust.From the kernel of this true story, Joe Reich weaves an interesting sometimes outrageous blend of fact and fiction, historical and current times, drawing the reader into the fictional life and exploits of the protagonist elderly survivor Jack (Yaakov Stein) now living in Melbourne. After trying to pass off a false testimony to a young Catholic photographer, Ian Gross, he then relents and tells us the truth ... Or does he?With false memoirs all the rage, this is clearly a fictitious story with some real characters, at once highly entertaining and deadly serious.
