Unknown Author

4.9/5 (28956 ratings)

Description:The Roth family lived in Slovakia, had a prosperous business and two young sons, Irving and his older brother Bondi. Irving's earliest memories are of the Catholic maid who was like a mother to him. Soon though, all that changed as laws made it illegal for a non-Jew to work for a Jew. His father was also forced to sell his business and the whole family had to wear Star-of-David yellow patches on their clothes. The family fled to Hungary and the boys sent to a boarding school. Later, the two boys were picked up, put on a cattle car and sent to a concentration camp.All the horrors of the camp are described in excruciating detail - the hunger, the hard work, the constant fear. Always though the boys had each other until after a couple of years they were separated.In spite of these hardships, Irving survived. Perhaps it was because he was only 15 years old, young enough and strong enough to somehow make it through. Liberation though was bitter-sweet because he never saw his brother again.The book makes the horror very real. And it's hard to believe how bad it really was. However it's also a testament to the positive human spirit and the will to live. I will never forget this book. It will haunt my memories for a long time. Yes, the specific time and place have dissolved into history. But its legacy lives on and teaches the lesson that we should never take our easy lives for granted and we should appreciate what we have. - Linda LinguvicWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
