A gripping novel on the horrors of the holocaust. In this story, we follow Yanek Gruener through countless concentration camps and watch in terror as he slowly dies and comes back to life again. Definitely read this remarkable book!

It is a war so there are graphic, bloody, horrible details that not everyone is ready to hear.

One of the best books I've read about a rewritten story about a Jewish boy who went to 7 different concentration camps during WWII. This books is really sad, graphic, with sensitive topics but it introduces you to another side of what it was like to be in some of the worst concentration camps.
