Publisher's summary

The amazing, untold story of the Holocaust from a survivor turned Nazi hunter.

No one expected the Nazis to arrive with such speed, and without a shot being fired. But when they entered Kraków in 1939, Josef Lewkowicz’s life was obliterated as he and his family were sent to concentration camps across the continent. Josef—after surviving the horrors of six separate concentration camps during World War II—became a relentless Nazi hunter in the aftermath of the war.

The Survivor is a captivating record of one man’s survival against all odds—but it is also a unique and ultimately optimistic chronicle of such a pivotal moment in history, offering wisdom and hope despite the crushing darkness. Josef's pursuit of justice—which includes the capture of his greatest tormentor, the murderous SS kommandant Amon Goeth, made infamous through his chilling portrayal by Ralph Fiennes in Schinder’s List—takes listeners on a riveting exploration of a story that spanned continents.

In The Survivor, Josef Lewkowicz shares a poignant and gripping account of his remarkable life, capturing the indomitable spirit and enduring soul—the neshama—of the survivor. This is more than a story; it is a testament to human resilience, a chronicle of justice, and a tribute to those who defied the darkest moments of our history.
