Summary

Living in Poland, 12-year-old Jack Mandelbaum is hardly aware that he's Jewish. But when Hitler comes to power, Jack is torn from his family as they are herded to a concentration camp, and he is forced to work for the Nazis. Each day is a struggle to survive, and life in the camps is brutal as Hitler's guards are skilled at crushing a prisoner's spirit. This true story is illustrated with photos.
