You might approach this memoir with some caution and there is horror here but Cioma's attitude is one of optimism and this gets him through many difficult situations. He is a young Jewish man in Berlin during the Second World War and his skill as a graphic artist leads him to forging the stamps on passes and ID. He paints of a picture of a Berlin where almost no one supports the Nazi cause and the willingness to work together and trust is heartening. Cioma gives us a light brush on the cruelty of the Nazi regime, not dwelling on the terror but on the camaraderie and the good people he works with. This all makes this an uplifting read that doesn't give lots of depth but is an interesting addition to a period that is well documented. ( )

Could not put it down, very impressive! ( )

Una historia, real, cruda, una historia sobre la amistad y sobre el optimismo. ( )
