This heartbreaking memoir from a Holocaust survivor reveals the terrible realities of life in Auschwitz and other concentration camps. 15-year-old Henry was assigned to back-breaking labour in the Auschwitz horse-breeding stables. How did one starving boy, alone and forgotten, survive this ultimate hell on earth?
Well written with a different perspective not often seen in other books about the camps as it follows his story from pre-war times to his life in America. A very powerful book: it's a must-read for anyone interested in the Holocaust.
