Summary: When his family is deported to concentration camps in 1942, twenty-year-old draughtsman Cioma Schonhaus goes underground. Recruited to a network dedicated to rescuing Jews from the gas chambers, Schonhaus discovers a life-saving talent for falsifying identity cards. Working on his forgeries, he changes address every night, relying on girl-friends and the friendship of anti-Nazi Germans to keep him one step ahead of the Gestapo. But when his face finally appears on wanted posters all over the city, the time has come to attempt a breathtaking escape from Berlin to Switzerland by bicycle
