"Victor Nameless is an impressive novel, suspenseful from beginning to end, a tale that will preoccupy my mind and heart for a long time." >"Two lovers searching for freedom and for each other.

Victor, a young German-Jewish musician, falls in love with Tatyana, a beautiful Jewish photographer from Yugoslavia. Unable to stay together, they promise to carry a torch for each other. Victor, fleeing eastward from the Nazis, is sucked deep into the Soviet Union. Without papers, without a name, he survives prisons and labor camps and ends up a forgotten refugee. The sole companion on his odyssey is a simple flute. Tatyana joins the partisans in Yugoslavia and flees to Italy. She lives in Venice inperilous disguise as a non-Jew, refusing the safety of marriage because of her love for Victor. She is ultimately betrayed and deported to Auschwitz. When Victor finally gets to the West and is sent to a recovery facility in Meran, Italy, he recognizes Tatyana at the window of a neighboring sanatorium. How can these two refugees preserve their love after so much trauma? Everything is now in the balance: will their hope hold its promise?
