Trapped by Evil and Deceit : The Story of Hansi and Joel Brand

**__Trapped by Evil and Deceit__** is a historical account of true events that reads like a political thriller. Amazingly, a few Jews successfully saved thousands of lives during the holocaust. After barely surviving, they were ostracized and even murdered in Israel to conceal the inaction of the political elite.

Trapped by Evil and Deceit is a historical account of true events that reads like a political thriller.

When the Holocaust broke out in Europe, Hansi and Joel Brand were joined by Israel (Rezs?) Kasztner to launch an organized effort to save thousands of human lives. Their efforts, which involved playing a dangerous bluffing game against the Nazi regime, helped to end the Auschwitz extermination.

Their success put them at odds with the political machine of the young state of Israel. Politicians wanted the public to believe that "there was nothing we could do," a sentiment which many still believe to this day. This cover-up led to Kasztner's murder—Israel's first politically-motivated homicide—by an employee of Israel's Secret Service.
