Description

Presents a story of a young boy's journey from a sleepy provincial town in Hungary during the Second World War to the concentration camp in Bergen-Belsen. This book is a child's recollection of a journey full of surprise, excitement, bereavement and terror. It is a testimony of survival and overcoming obstacles.

Reviews

"Lantos has not only written a moving and sensitively narrated memoir, but he has also done an expert job of sleuthing his family's history in order to fill the heartbreaking gaps left by the Holocaust." "-- "Richard Zimler, author, "The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon"
