From a World War II concentration camp to the Korean War to the White House, this is the incredible story of Tibor “Teddy” Rubin, the only Holocaust survivor ever to receive a Medal of Honor... In 1944, a thirteen-year-old Hungarian boy named Tibor Rubin was captured by the Nazis and sent to the notorious Mauthausen concentration camp. The teenager endured its horrors for more than a year. After surviving the Holocaust, he arrived penniless in America, barely speaking English. In 1950, Tibor volunteered for service in the Korean War. After acts of heroism that included single-handedly defending a hill against an onslaught of enemy soldiers, braving sniper fire to rescue a wounded comrade, and commandeering a machine gun after its crew was killed, he was captured. As a POW, Tibor called on his experience in Mauthausen to help fellow GIs survive two and half years of captivity. Tibor returned from Korea in 1953, but it wasn’t until 2005—at age 76—that he was invited to the White House, where he received the Medal of Honor from President George W. Bush. It had taken over half a century for Tibor’s adopted homeland to recognize this Jewish immigrant for acts of valor that went “beyond the call of duty.” But when it did, the former Hungarian refugee became the only survivor of the Holocaust to have earned America’s highest military distinction. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and extensive interviews, author Daniel M. Cohen presents the inspiring story of Tibor “Teddy” Rubin for the first time in its entirety and gives us a stirring portrait of a true hero. INCLUDES PHOTOS

After his brother was killed, Joseph was compelled to action and wanted to join the police force to help solve America's drug problem. What he witnessed was anything but a battle.

The once friendly land of Cornwall was already but a thin gray line, and was dropping fast as Temptress lurched over the waves sent tumbling down theChannel be fore an easterly breeze. It was my departure from England. Settling myself more comfortably at the kicking tiller I sighed and said out loud, Well, Im off once more, and will not turn back this time. Not that I was feeling particularly brave, nor had I yet gained confidence in the boat. Indeed, she had only become mine a few months previously, and this was her first season afloat for ten years. Perhaps it was a bit foolhardy setting off direct for Gibraltar, but it was comforting to know that the French port of Brest could be used as a bolt hole for the next two days if anything alarming hap pened. At least the boat had had a shakedown cruise up Channel from Dartmouth to the Solent and back to Falmouth and Helf ord before setting forth on the ocean. 11 12 SINGLE-HANDED PASSAGE Morale Lad not been improved by the failure of my first attempt to reach Gibraltar the previous winter in the 20-ton cutter Content. Setting forth from Penzance at the end of November, I had waltzed into a series of biting gales. Vari ous gear had carried away, including the metal tiller jaws. This had left me with no means of steering for two and a half days, until repairs could be effected, during which time the loose rudder had worked open a seam in the lower part of the transom and water had poured in. Preferring to risk losing the yacht on a lee shore rather than foundering at sea, course had been set to return to England in a gale of wind with bad visibility. After a total of eight days at sea, the iron bound coast had been picked up shockingly close, but I man aged to scramble into some sort of shelter and anchor near Newlyn, too exhausted to enter harbour, and with the boat rolling ominouslywith tons of water in the bilges. I had had just enough strength to pump out before collapsing on my bunk. Repairs had taken some time in Penzance, the worst place I have ever met for yacht work. The firm, for some obscure reason, in spite of the fact that I had Lloyds millions behind me, insisted on payment before the work could be started, and finally we parted the best of enemies. In January, a friend and I bounced round the Lizard at night, over a ter rific swell, with the rigging lit up by the eerie blue light of St. Elmos Fire...
