title: From the Holocaust to Hogan's Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary
author:  Robert Clary 
description: Although best known to TV viewers as LeBeau on TV's Hogan's Heroes (1965-1971), Robert Clary has written a new memoir, From the Holocaust to Hogan's Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary, offering a much more sobering view of WWII, as he recounts his 31 months in German concentration camps as a Jewish Parisian teenager. After liberation, he began singing in nightclubs and, as a protg of Eddie Cantor, won a position in the revue New Faces of 1952, which also featured newcomers Eartha Kitt, Paul Lynde and fledgling writer Mel Brooks. Decades later, his popularity among daytime viewers as a regular on soaps The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives helped promote his recording career. Although flatly written at times, Clary's tale of survival is inspirational. </P><P>Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.</P>

  Two days previously, Simon had showed up at the Institute,
  breathless and wild-eyed. Jace and Clary had been in the training
  room, checking in on the new Institute tutor, Beatriz Mendoza, and
  some of the Conclave students.
  “Simon!” Clary had exclaimed. “I didn’t know you were in town.”
  Simon was a graduate of Shadowhunter Academy, Clary’s parabatai,
  and a Recruiter, a job created by the Consul to help replenish the
  diminished ranks of Shadowhunters. When like
