Meet Aaron Herskowitz: a 5’2” thief, horse master, assassin, smuggler, and Jewish slave who escaped from captivity and made history—but wasn’t recorded in it—until now.
As a Jewish slave under the Nazis on the Russian Front, he boldly impersonates the Nazi commander, ordering: “Retreat!” to the German soldiers, reversing the tide of a major battle and saving the lives of countless thousands of Jewish slaves. Later, he miraculously escapes from the brutal Nazi slave labor camp and joins the Russian Army.
His task is to capture and interrogate hundreds of Nazi officers and spies, obtaining valuable intelligence, and helping the Soviets oust the Nazi invaders from Russia. The Russians reward him by making him ruler of a conquered Nazi town with unlimited power to exact revenge against his mortal enemies.
But when the Russians arrest him and prepare to kill him on suspicion of being a Nazi spy, he escapes once again, becoming a wanted fugitive with a huge price on his head. After the war, he manages to find wealth and even his long lost love whom he thought had perished.
Aaron’s Reckoning is the true adventure of a World War II hero you’ve never heard of. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and how, even in the face of unimaginable adversity, one person’s bravery, determination, and resilience can change history. This gripping story, based on Aaron’s recollections that his son Howard pried out of him late in his life, shows the power of one human being who refuses to let evil go unchallenged—even within the chambers of his own heart.
Underpinning this tragedy is a remarkable romance that survived the war by God’s grace.
