I do not have any idea about the Holocaust. I just know na bwakinangshet si Hitler. I never thought ganito ang mga pinagdaanan ng mga survivor 😭 this book was heartbreaking from start to finish 🥺 specially if you are also listening to the audiobook while reading. All the feels 😭😭

I set a timelapse to see how I react on the last 30% of the book when he finally met his wife and became a father. Yung akala mo that you will never feel any ounce of happiness, pero there is a pot of gold pala sa finish line 🥹

It’s more heartbreaking to see the photos at the end of the book 🥺 lalo na yung photo with his family. Imagine yung nagkahiwalay kayo during the war tapos hindi mo na alam kung kelan kayo next magkikita or magkikita pa ba kayo 😭

This will definitely be part of my “book that made me sob at 3am” shelve. I want to have a physical copy of this.

Btw, he died last Oct 2021 lang at the age of 101. Who would have thought that he will be a centenarian. After all the hardships during his 20s.
