He earned his first dollar shoveling snow after a fierce blizzard. On arrival, he made three vows: to never go hungry again, to support the Jewish people, and to speak out against injustice. After two death marches and near starvation, he was liberated from camp Mauthausen and went to work for the US Army hunting Nazis, a service that earned him a visa to America. Siggi used his wits to stay alive, pretending to have trade skills the Nazis could exploit to run the camp. While American teens were socializing in ice cream parlors, Siggi was suffering beatings by Nazi hoodlums for being a Jew and was soon deported along with his family to the darkest place the world has ever known: Auschwitz. Unstoppable is the ultimate immigrant story and an epic David-and-Goliath adventure. Greene lets Wilzig’s effervescent spirit shine through, and his story will appeal to a wide variety of readers.” - Library Journal “A must-read that hopefully will be adapted for the screen. Winner – Best of Los Angeles Award's "Best Holocaust Book - 2021"
