Don't want to die for principle

In addition to the protagonist, Borg, an aspiring young man, must be mentioned. His wife died in Auschwitz. Both of them printed anti-Nazi flyers before. I understand his motivation for sabotage, but his way is naive. Can a few small Jews disobedient and the Nazi cavalry be stopped? Even if you get a gun and armed to resist, what is the point? As far as you are concerned, it is glorious to die for your so-called "principles" and "ideals." You are a martyr. But for history, that little resistance is really too weak.

Later, someone wanted to expose Borg, Solovich immediately stopped: "Never expose the companion, or I will kill you." So, what if he acquiesced? There will be no more obstruction, and the forgery work will be smoother. Therefore, one cannot just mention the Jews and say how shrewd they are, in the end they are human and human. He has endured no matter how humiliated he was by German officers, and Karlov, who loves art, was killed because of tuberculosis. The less he hopes to survive, the more he must hold on to everything that could save his life, including "Bernard." Jewish members of "action". Judging from his personal forgery technology, the German army is reluctant to kill him.

Of course, kindness is not enough. In the final analysis, if you can survive, try your best to thwart the German army. Therefore, they had to make the counterfeit banknotes both true and false, defrauding the bank, but they still marked it.
Salisolovich has to be admired.

This German-speaking Russian gambled wildly after the war, with an elegant posture, but the people who had regained their freedom from the concentration camp were haggard and approaching trance. In an instant the world was turned upside down again. But it doesn't seem to be. The rich are still respected. In the middle of the night, he wore the mark of the concentration camp on his arm, drinking champagne and dancing with the beautiful women on the deserted beach.

A unique skill that allowed him to live to this day, and also made him suffer from the loneliness that is not understood by others.
