In Israel, ten years after the war, his fortunes would change as he is suddenly accused of being a Nazi collaborator who had allowed hundreds of thousands of Jews to die in Hungary.

Robert St. John based his fictitious novel on the reality of his central character, Andor Horvath, a Zionist Romanian-Hungarian Jewish leader.

There are many other characters that demonstrate how Jews were lulled into a sense of false security, and how they were methodically exterminated at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
