Resumen del Editor

Three mass deportations. A death sentence. One remarkable story of survival.

When Leosz was only six, his life changed completely. World War II broke out in 1939, sweeping the young boy into the whirlwind of the holocaust.

For six long torturous years, Leosz sees and goes through everything: myriads of overcrowded transports headed for concentration camps, life on the streets of occupied Poland as an abandoned child, hiding from cruel Nazis, forced labor under conditions of starvation, and the constant threat of death.

Only one thing kept him safe: his unwavering will to go on living.

This is the incredible, inspiring story of a little Jewish boy who managed to survive all possible levels of hell as he clung on to life.

Annoying narration

Although this memoir is wonderful, I was continually annoyed by the poor pronunciation of many words by Mr. Landry. At first, I was convinced it was read by a bot. After I verified it was a real man, I was astonished, I was even more annoyed that a person hired to read would be as ignorant about word pronunciation that one should know by high school graduation. Still, the story supersedes these issues. Highly recommend! Just take off your pronunciation police hat before listening.

Enlightening

Mr. Tamir wrote in such a way that I was able to understand and finish the whole book. I want to know the story, but other historical accounts have been too graphic, too horrendous for me to finish, although they were filled with truth. Mr. Tamir gives many detailed accounts, and my heart hurt through the reading but I was able to finish and know the horrible story. A must read for all who believe the Holocaust was not real. You can't make this up. It was horrendous for the Jews.
