Book Review:
A gay Holocaust survivor confronts the man whoboth saved and broke him. In 1968 New York City, 42-year-old waiter Charles Ward recognizes a restaurant patron as Berthold Werden, a fugitive German paramilitary soldier from Auschwitz going by a different name. Charles has complicated feelings about Berthold, who enslaved Charles for sex and domestic service but also rescued him from being worked to death in the camp.
