Publisher Description
A gripping novel based on the astonishing true story of a boy who survived 10 concentration camps. Based on the true story by Ruth and Jack Gruener.
Ten concentration camps. Ten different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face.
As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis, who have taken over. Everything he has and everyone he loves have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner — his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death only to confront it again seconds later.
Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will — and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside?
Customer Reviews
10/10
Third book in a row about the holocaust. This was an AMAZING story! The whole time whilst reading, I couldn’t believe what my own eyes read. And the fact that this story was based on a real person was unimaginable. I can’t believe Yanek (or Jack) survived 11 freaking concentration camps and 2 death marches. This book really just got me thinking and contemplating. An amazing story, I simply can’t describe how good it is.
Great Book Would Read Again
This is a deep emotional book. Throughout his journey from the ghettos to the death camps it shows the emotion in every sentence. Great read.
