Gruener, Jack

A fictionalization of a true story, this Holocaust narrative follows Yanek Gruener from his childhood in the Krakow ghetto through a brutal adolescence struggling to survive ten different concentration camps. The unimaginable horrors Yanek faces are portrayed in spare but unflinching detail. Occasional transcendent moments of beauty, nobility, or kindness sustain Yanek and readers alike.
