Reviews

One of the very few books about the Holocaust experience narrated by descendents of Holocaust survivors.A well written book about a very terrible time in modern history.A BEAUTIFUL memoir of an amazing man.This account of Hank Brodt's young adult life surviving the Holocaust has truly changed my understanding of human compassion.No one can read this and not be enraged by the brutal treatment endured by the prisoners. But the amazing thing, your spirit wasn't broken!
