On the basis of genuine material - the memoirs of the former prisoner of Nazi concentration camps, and later a large American businessman, oil magnate, philanthropist and fighter with anti -Semitism, the Keeper of the Holocaust of Sigbert Vilcig, dialogues with his relatives, friends, colleagues and competitors, excerpts from his performances, and Also, the writer Joshua Green, the writer Joshua, created a portrait of a complex person from the funds of the Holocaust Museum, for whom the value of life was to fulfill unrealistic dreams and defeat invincible enemies. In each line of the biography of the hero of this book, with the honor of surviving the “The most dark hour in history” with his difficult trials, but lost his closest people during the years of Nazism, a universal, inspiring and truly humanistic meaning was concluded.
“Probably, a businessman as Ziggi Wilcig will never be: this is the only surviving prisoner of Auschwitz, who came to America to the poor and uneducated and from the cleaner of factory toilets turned into the president of the oil company, which was quoted at the New York Stock Exchange and commercial bank with multi -million dollar capital. The fact that he managed to achieve such success in the two most anti -Semitic sectors of the economy of post -war America makes his achievements even more impressive. Siggi was an unqualified employee who had only primary education, moreover, a foreigner: he came from Europe with $ 240 in his pocket and earned his first dollar in America on snow cleaning. All with whom I talked in the preparation of this book converged in one thing: none of them knew a single other fate, reminiscent of the fate of Ziggi at least remotely. Although all respondents talked about his wonderful salvation after the many years of suffering from the Holocaust, they most emphasized how he managed to overcome these tragic events and become a significant figure in American business. ” (Joshua Green)
