Author and renowned Holocaust scholar Joshua M. Greene
starts this incredible true story by describing the unimaginable horrors that
Siggi B. Wilzig endured at Nazi concentration camps Auschwitz and Mauthausen.
It then quickly turns into a series of exciting tales that give the reader a
sense of how his foxlike mind worked.
These unique mental skills would eventually enable him to
take over and run two companies among the most antisemitic industries in the
nation - oil & gas drilling and commercial banking. strategy+business
states, “This compelling tale of suffering, persecution, and triumph is the
best business book in the form of a historical narrative this year.”
Of these exciting tales, one chronicles how Siggi, as head
of Wilshire Oil & Gas, was the first to sue the Federal Reserve in a
landmark lawsuit related to the Bank Holding Company Act. The suit became case
law and is taught in law schools today. It was also a featured story in the New
York Times and a writer at Forbes said, “how could he possibly fear the Federal
Reserve after having faced the Gestapo?”
Another first for Siggi includes being the first Holocaust
survivor to lecture at West Point Military Academy. This and other interesting
stories, like how Siggi came to meet not one but four sitting United States
Presidents, are all detailed in the book.
The traits Siggi was born with attributed not only to his
survival of two death camps and two death marches but later led him to become a
business genius, even though he started with nothing and had virtually no
education.
Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel describes Siggi as “a man of
courage and faith,” while the trade publication Library Journal said about
Unstoppable, “A must-read that hopefully will be adapted for the screen.”
Unstoppable is available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook.
