Young Leo Bretholz survived the Holocaust by escaping from the Nazis -- not once, but seven times during his almost seven-year ordeal crisscrossing wartorn Europe. He leaped from trains, outran police, and hid in attics, cellars, anywhere that offered a few more seconds of safety. First Leo swam the flooded River Sauer at the German-Belgian border. Later he climbed the Alps on feet so battered they froze to his socks -- only to be turned back at the Swiss border.
