While Licco Hazan, the narrator of this novel, was held captive at a Bulgarian labor camp in World War II, he could hardly imagine that one day he´d have a much brighter future in the far-off, frightening Amazon.
Accompanying the lives of this character and his family and people, Ilko Minev reconstructs the little-known and intriguing story of how Bulgaria’s 50,000 Jews were saved from the gas chambers during the heinous Nazi domination of Europe. Torn apart from his brother as a young prisoner, Licco is fortunate enough to count on people who help him flee to the neutral nation of Turkey Help comes from an improbable source: Albert Göring, the brother of Hermann Göring (a top Nazi party leader and designated successor of Adolf Hitler). Albert Göring is instrumental in helping Licco and other jews escape from a sure death. On this journey Licco meets another escapee, Berta - the woman of his life. By several twists of fate, the young couple ends up building a new life in an unknown land, the hot and humid Amazon. Meanwhile, Licco´s brother is still in Bulgaria, which has been transformed into a Soviet satellite under the dictatorship of Stalin.
The title of the book takes its inspiration from the world´s pacifist hymn "Where have all the flowers gone", first made famous by the sensual voice of Marlene Dietrich. A must read.

A Real Learning Experience By Herb Margolis thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning about the plight and flight of Bulgarian Jewry during the Holocaust years. The story personalizes actual events of so many brave souls that found refuge and success in other countries in the story of a young man fearless in his endeavor to find a better life in in foreign lands as far away as the jungles of the Amazon region of Brazil. Interesting historical insight about the “Good Brother” of Hermann Goering assisting in saving Jews of that time and an introduction to the settlement and growth of primitive life in the Amazon wet the appetite for more from this new face on the literary seen. It is well written, flows nicely and begs for more inquiry about these historical times from the author Mr. Minev.

I learned much about the Sephardic community in Bulgaria.We are reminded never to assume that a person is guilty of a crime just because he is related to one who has committed crimes. The example of this is the brother of Herman Goering who helped a number of Jews to escape certain death.I am reminded that Bulgaria treated Jews far better than did many other peoples.Herbert Ausubel, author of "Flower of God"
