Destination: Questionmark by Curt Lowens

Curt Lowens' self-published book may not be the most polished example of writing available, but it is a remarkable account of his experiences during World War II. Lowens was a German-born, Jewish boy when the war began and found his identity in constant flux as he escaped to Holland, went into hiding and joined the resistance, and ended up working with the British Army. Told with honesty (and even humor), his story is quite extraordinary.
