The Survivor both terrifies us and inspires us. It's a must read. Tova Friedman, author of The Daughter of Auschwitz * . * Josef Lewkowicz's account of his journey through six concentration camps as a teenager makes for horrific reading. But what grips the mind is his Nazi hunting and capture of the despicable Amon Goeth, followed by his determination only to do, and see, good in people. His spiritual voice emerges from a history of pain and loss with a rare and admirable clarity. Baroness Julia Neuberger * . * A truly harrowing account, humanely told in fast-paced, affecting prose. You won't be able to put it down - even in those moments where the truth feels too hard to read. Sophy Roberts, author of The Lost Pianos of Siberia * . * Heartbreaking and inspiring. Josef Lewkowicz's journey to freedom did not end with his liberation from the Nazi death camps. He witnessed the inhumanity of men who, when given the power, can be so evil as to choose who shall live and who shall die. With captivating realism, Lewkowicz recounts reuniting hundreds of displaced and abandoned Jewish children with their families, an enormous task. If that wasn't enough, he became a Nazi hunter and helped bring some of the worst men in Jewish history to justice. This is a profound and courageous book. Maxwell Smart, author of The Boy in the Woods * . * Author InformationJosef Lewkowicz (Author) Before the invasion of his hometown, Josef Lewkowicz lived with his family in Dzialoszyce, near Krakow in Poland.
