Prisoner B-3087

De: Alan Gratz, Ruth Gruener, Jack Gruener

Narrado por: Steven Kaplan

A gripping novel based on the astonishing true story of a boy who survived 10 concentration camps. Based on the true story by Ruth and Jack Gruener.

Ten concentration camps. Ten different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis, who have taken over. Everything he has and everyone he loves have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner - his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death only to confront it again seconds later. Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will - and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside?

great story

I've already read this story twice, and now for the third time I reading it🙂 this is one one of the besst stories I've ever read. nice job

Excellent Book!

My 10 year old son, my husband and myself all listened to this book during a road trip. It was amazing. We all loved it.

very good... short read

It was a great story of tragedy and triumph. especially like the authors note at the end!

Not quite a true story.

While listening to this, I thought it was a fascinating book. Unfortunately, at the end, I learned that it was several people's stories combined to be one character. If I had known that up front, I probably wouldn't have listened to it.

And miraculously he lives!

A true story of a 13 yr old who lives thru countless concentration camps. It is written from his perspective and puts the reader in a teenagers mind and heart as he is tested over and over. A great book to teach a first person account of a Jewish boy coming of age in a heartless, soulless world.

Great book

This is an easy book to read. One that needs to be read so the next generation can understand what the Holocaust is and what the people involved endured.

Listen in one day

This book and app was so good I couldn’t stop listening to it. I will be definitely listening to more books by this author

So sad!

My 11yr old daughter read this book in school!!! Then she came home repeatedly recommending for me to listen to this book! We both listed to it together and it was such a sad read. I almost cried a few times!!! What a terrible time in life and my heart breaks for all those that endured pain… For just simply being a Jew… 😢😢😢
