Overview
What is it like to have lived through six years of Holocaust slave labor and survive? Bluma Tishgarten and Felix Goldberg were torn from their families and communities and cast into Hell... Adolf Hitler was the devil that presided over Germany's descent into madness and led the Nazis in their murderous march across Europe and beyond from 1939 to 1945. Despite not knowing if their friends and neighbors and their families were still alive, the two young Polish Jews struggled through the grueling conditions of near-starvation and slave labor as well as torture and terror with only the faint glimmer of hope as their beacon leading them to survival. They found each other. They found a life together and they found their way to America. This is their miraculous story of their trials and tribulations... of the risks they took, the resilience to persevere, and their ultimate redemption.

Reviews
""..it is more important now than ever for youngsters to understand the dangers of living under an authoritarian government.. This will be a great book to put in the hands of reluctant readers. Youngsters will be engaged and will very likely want to know more."" - Rosi Hollinbeck ""This book is written for the general public and would be a good fit for any library or classroom. I recommend this book for students in grades 5 - 8. It also could be used as a Hi-Lo book for older readers who struggle with reading. The illustrations and the short chapters entice even the most reluctant of readers. The bibliography and photos are appreciated. The additional online content is helpful and engaging as well. Another big bonus is the absence of bad language and gore. The author did an excellent job conveying the atrocities of war in an age-appropriate manner."" - Sally Matheny
