I would like to implore anyone of a younger generation who doubts the reality of the Holocaust to read this book. It touched me deeply.Tony Randall
Robert Clary has lived two lives, and written two books—one horrific, one jaunty. They're both fascinating. . . . This is brave writing.Mel Brooks
A truly exciting journey filled with heartache, bravery, and comic joy. I couldn't put it down.Dom DeLuise
The 'Amazing' Clary has constantly been full of fun; energetic and always zestful. I read his book and for me it was the Holocaust right into my Heart! . . . BRAVO!Merv Griffin
Nobody in show business has the resume of Robert Clary. From German concentration camps to Broadway and to television... it has been an amazing journey for him. He's still one of our most entertaining and energetic performers. I've only known him for fifty years, and I still couldn't put this book down.CARL REINER
There are many stories of survivors, but not many as riveting as the one that Robert Clary tells in his autobiography. The Nazis captured him and tried to kill him, but he survived them and went on to capture and kill audiences all over the world.Midwest Book Review
From the Holocaust to Hogan's Heroes is a powerful, highly recommended biographical journey that enfolds the reader in a strong life.Product Details
