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?

Memories passed down through storytelling have been a vital part of culture since the dawn of civilization, and we've all had moments of pained reminiscence: Where were you on that day? There are few accounts more powerful than audio recollections of the lived histories of 9/11—their words, their voices, their stories all ensure we will never forget, that the passage of time will never erode the memory of those loved, lost, and left behind.

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.

Not quite a true story.

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.

And miraculously he lives!

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.

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… 😢😢😢

So sad!
