Publisher's summary

In 1920, at the age of eight, Moisye Kaptzan spent months hiding in squalid pigsties and opium dens after Bolsheviks murdered his father and hunted his surviving family members during the Russian Revolution’s aftermath. Three years later, when the Great Yokohama earthquake flattened that Japanese city, 11-year-old Moisye was buried under rubble as his house crashed down upon him. Trapped in Shanghai as a young man during WWII, he outwitted the brutal Japanese occupiers while assisting Jewish refugees running from Hitler.

Undaunted by disasters, Moisye Kaptzan relied on his keen understanding of human nature and fluency in multiple languages to thrive throughout these tumultuous times. A tale of grit, perseverance, and survival…this is History.

A Family Saga

I loved this book. I read the paperback when it first came out. Now I wanted to listen to the audio version and it was just as good. This second time through reminded me what a remarkable life the author’s father had. Definitely, larger than life, a man of the world. Through his story I learn about historical events that I had little knowledge of. I don’t read/listen to too many books twice, but I was so glad I did with HiStory.
