I found this book to be enlightening. A lot of the books I've read about the Holocaust address the experiences of women and children, most of whom had limited power relative to some of the other victims. This book stood out for me in that it covered a very different perspective on the impossible life or death choices European Jews were forced to make under the Nazi regime and the lifetime toll they took on those who survived. Must read.
Henry, a survivor of Nazi Germany has never fully opened up about his experiences of the war to his son, and now in his declining years, he realises that if he doesn't speak up now, his experiences and personal history will be lost forever.
Henry's story of horror and survival during one of the darkest periods in history makes for riveting reading.
The atrocities committed by the Nazis must never be forgotten, and this record will help keep the memories alive.

The author writes of the slow process of his learning about his father’s experience during the Holocaust, which we also learn of. He has obviously done a lot of research. I felt that the father’s history, which is much more interesting, would have had much more impact if the author didn’t keep pulling the reader into the modern day. Nevertheless, the atrocities were horrific. No matter how many books on the holocaust I read, I am always stunned by the barbaric cruelty that occurred.
