Robert From the Holocaust to Hogans Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary born Robert Max Widerman in Paris in is best known for his portrayal of the spirited Corporal Louis Lebeau on the popular television series Hogan's Heroes on the air from to and widely syndicated around the globe. But it is Clary's experiences as a Jew during the Holocaust that infuse his compelling memoir with an honest recognition of life's often horrific reality, a recognition that counters his glittering five-decade career as an actor, singer, and artist and distinguishes this book from those by other entertainers. Clary describes his childhood in Paris, the German occupation inand his deportation in at the age of sixteen to the infamous transit camp Drancy. He recounts his nightmarish, two-and-a-half-year incarceration in Nazi concentration camps like Ottmuth, Blechhammer, Gross-Rosen, and Buchenwald. In Aprilthe Allies liberated Clary and other inmates. But the news that his parents, two sisters, two half-sisters, and two nephews had not survived the Nazis' genocidal campaign against the Jews reduced his joy to grief. After the war, Clary made his way to the United States and, against great odds, achieved fame on Broadway and in Hollywood.

As a little boy I loved watching Hogan's Heroes, and Lebeau was my favorite character. As I grew older and learned the story behind the remarkable man, my respect only increased. The book was a wonderful read, both depressing and uplifting. May 06, Cindy Dyson Eitelman rated it really liked it Shelves: I can't explain why I didn't love this book, but I did like it, a lot. Clary has a great memory for From the Holocaust to Hogans Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary and he relates them well. He doesn't hold back on the feelings and he doesn't try to turn himself into a hero. He simply makes it clear, up front, that he's not one to dwell on the past at the expense of living From the Holocaust to Hogans Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary the present. In fact, From the Holocaust to Hogans Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary almost think he would have rather not have to tell about his life in the concentration camps. It was more of a "this needs to be told; people have to I can't explain why I didn't love this book, but I did like it, a lot. It was more of a "this needs to be told; people have to know and I'm famous enough that they'll listen to my story," than it was a cathartic "rip this beating heart out of my chest. This autobiography was easy to pick up, hard to put down, and charitable to all--except the Nazis, of course. And if there were a certain lack of soul-searching or a personal need to make sense of it all, I'm the only one who'd miss it. Good, solid memoir. Aug 02, Tony Gualtieri rated it it was amazing. This brilliantly structured autobiography is one of the most insightful accounts of the effect of the Holocaust on an individual life that I have read. Well written autobiography. Gives deep insight into the Holocaust and adjusting to life afterwards. Mar 06, Rachael rated it really liked it Shelves: bio-memoir. Hogan's Heroes is one of my guilty pleasures. It doesn't get much more ridiculous than a comedy set in a Prisoner of War camp in the middle of Nazi Germany, but I love the show anyway. When my mother mentioned that one of the actors playing a POW, Robert Clary, was a Holocaust survivor, I was curious how anyone could go from a concentration camp to that show. I could satisfy my curiosity directly from t Hogan's Heroes is one of my guilty pleasures. I could satisfy my curiosity directly from the horse's mouth, as it were. Clary is a decent writer, but that is clearly not his primary profession. The narrative style is simple and straight-forward, with a slight stream of consciousness feel. That causes him to get in a few sucker punches. For instance, he is describing his happy childhood in Paris and the nice, but small, apartment building in which his family lived and then almost as an aside throws in that today there is a sign on the front of the building whose English translation would read "In memory of the inhabitants of this house, including 40 young children, deported and dead in German camps in It is likely that is just the way it is in his mind though: memories of childhood always hit the brick wall of the Holocaust. The descriptions of his life in the camps are good but not masterpieces. If you want better written or more descriptive first-hand accounts of the atrocities of the work and death camps, they are certainly out there. But that isn't really the point, is it? Every person who survived did so in his or her own way, making every story unique and worth being told. Clary's case is interesting because his later entertainment career is so closely tied to his time in the camps. He survived in part by receiving special treatment for entertaining the guards and even chose his future stage name, he was born Robert Widerman, during roll call at Buchenwald one day. Most of the second half of the autobiography deals with Clary's struggles in the entertainment world. It is a good read, fun and interesting, and perhaps the best written section, but not really what I went into the book for. He again returns to the themes of the Holocaust in the last two chapters. His discussion of filming Hogan's Heroes is brief. He answers my initial question in a rather perfunctory way From the Holocaust to Hogans Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary saying a Frenchman in a POW camp is so different from a Jew in a concentration camp that the question is mootbut he does at least answer it. The final chapter on revisiting the Holocaust is one of the best in the book. He explains that from the moment he got out of the camp he did his best to never think or speak of his time there. Then in he watched a documentary about a survivor of Auschwitz who mentioned she felt she had to tell her story now because someday there would be no survivors left and the Holocaust deniers could gain more ground and make it easier for it to happen again. It was only after this that he truly confronted his own emotions concerning what he had endured and he began to speak publicly about his time in the camps and the deaths of those he knew. The buried emotions exposed during this time of his life make me wonder if he would have felt the same doing a Hogan's Heroes type show then as he did previously. Mar 08, Leila Kern rated it really liked it. Growing up one of my favorite shows was Hogan's Heros so I was very interested in reading Mr. Clary's book. While Mr. Clary is not a professional writer, I felt he wrote with passion and very clearly about his experiences.

  • (IN)CONNUE by Jennifer Ann Young
    ABSTRACT DEUIL D’UNE (IN)CONNUE By Jennifer Ann Young Contemporary French author Patrick Modiano’s novels center almost entirely around memory and the traumatic events surrounding the Occupation. Modiano has spent most of his life dealing with the guilty remorse of having been born directly following the Occupation, while hundreds of thousands of others, including his estranged father, experienced it directly. Modiano’s Dora Bruder focuses on the chance encounter with a stranger and the possibility of caring deeply for this person. The heroine, Dora Bruder, mesmerizes Modiano as he devotes six years of his life to finding out the fate of this young girl, who disappeared during the Occupation. Her fate becomes his mission. This thesis explores the possibilities of loving someone without ever having met him or her. It also further discovers the (im)possibility of mourning the loss of an unknown individual.

There's nothing funny about it. But survival, and what it takes to survive, there can be humor in that.” -Rob Reiner, Director “I am…privy to many of the films that are released on a yearly basis about the Holocaust. I cannot think of one project that has taken the approach of THE LAST LAUGH. THE LAST LAUGH dispels the notion that there is nothing new to say or to reveal on the subject because this aspect of survival is one that very few have explored in print and no one that I know of has examined in a feature documentary.” -Richard Tank, Executive Director at the Simon Wiesenthal Center SHORT SYNOPSIS THE LAST LAUGH is a feature documentary about what is taboo for humor, seen through the lens of the Holocaust and other seemingly off-limits topics, in a society that prizes free speech.

In fact, while Starr’s song was still an anti-Vietnam War battle cry, ground- breaking television programs like M*A*S*H (CBS, 1972-1983) were using laughter and tongue-in-cheek treatment of the horrors of war to provide a somewhat more palatable expression of the growing anti-war sentiment to American audiences.
