Sophie ，

A quick and easy read （in terms of the writing style， not the subject matter）。 Arek seems to skim over his story， only mentioning some incidents in passing。 But still interesting to hear his journey。

A relatively short but moving read detailing one young boys journey through the Holocaust。 From orphanages to Jewish ghettos to the most notorious of camps， the author describes how he survived。 Some of the details are incredibly shocking although not a surprise for those who have read extensively about this time in history。 What is so inspiring is how the author has gone on to educate people about this devastating time。 He dedicates his writing to the family and friends who were systematically A relatively short but moving read detailing one young boys journey through the Holocaust。 From orphanages to Jewish ghettos to the most notorious of camps， the author describes how he survived。 Some of the details are incredibly shocking although not a surprise for those who have read extensively about this time in history。 What is so inspiring is how the author has gone on to educate people about this devastating time。 He dedicates his writing to the family and friends who were systematically murdered by the Nazis。 This comes as a highly recommended read for those interested in wartime history。 。。。more
