The 100-year secret : Britain's hidden WWII massacre /Benjamin Jacobs, with Eugene Pool.

"On 3 May 1945, the Royal Air Force attacked a fleet of ships carrying more than seven thousand survivors of the Neuengamme concentration camp. The war was nearly over, and the survivors had endured one of history's most hellish ordeals, only to die at the hands of their allies. [...] In The 100-Year Secret Benjamin Jacobs collaborates with writer Eugene Pool to describe his miraculous escape from a burning transport ship [...] and investigates why the incident, which had its 60th anniversary in May 2005, appears in no history books. [...] The 100-Year Secret is the first complete account in English of this horrific and surpressed tragedy. The 100-Year Secret is also the first book-length description by an actual survivor. Furthermore, it contains new information about the incident, its particulars, and its perpetrators not found in other accounts. It is both a riveting personal story [...] and an important revision of both Jewish and world history." --Provided by the publisher.
