Book Review: |
|
The reader will be deeply moved with the stories of survival in this eyewitness account. Unlike many holocaust survivors, Mr. Schwager's experience was outside the concentration camps, but no less harrowing or brutal. Without friends or family, he had only his will to survive to rely on. The reader is given a rare, inside look at how the world's events affected a single individual, and shaped the course of his life forever.
