Summary

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?

wow, this is a powerful listen

Listen to the harrowing story of how Yanek, a child, was taken by the nazis, had his family and identity destroyed worked to the point of death through a vast number of concerntration camps, become prisoner B-3087. His story is one of hope, loss,, terror and determination as he prevents the Natiz destruction of his soul by becoming a man, called Jack, surviving the worst that mankind has ever shown to its kin. I am so happy for Jack and Ruth and althought it is terrible, so glad his story has been told. lest we never forget life's real heroes x
