Their campaigns against terror were pure struggles; [her] accounts, even allowing for the retouching of memory, are pure too.\" --\nSmithsonian\n\n\n\"The author takes delight in describing the people she met--the 70-year-old female hobo, for example . . . who read Baudelaire and sang the \"Marseillaise\" at the top of her voice. . . . It is in portraits like this that\nEscape Through the Pyrenees, well translated by David Koblick, transcends the documentary forumla and captures the poetry of human character.\" --\nNew York Times Book Review\n\n\n\nSynopsis \n\n\nUpon fleeing Germany during 1933, Lisa Fittko and her husband arrived in France.
