The author, a Holocaust Survivor, eyewitness, has traveled through the flames of Nazi inferno.
This book will touch upon the developmental time of a young boy, lacking puberty, already imprisoned in the Nazi slave labor camps. The reader sees him experiencing the miracle of growing up; at the man at age of eleven, as the provider for a family of four, a single mother, and three siblings--his elder brother Roman, and the little sister (six-years-old) name Felusia.--Their father, Herman, conscripted from the reserves into active soldier. The whole Polish Armed Forces have retreated from the German onslaught to the alleged "ally," the Soviet Union. Sadly, Josif Stalin ordered the murder of 14,000+ officer's rank at the Katyn Wood Massacre. His father, rank artillery corporal, was incarcerated in the Soviet Gulag.
Meanwhile, at the Nazi occupied Poland, the inmates of Jewish ghettos worked as slave laborers in the Nazi war industry. Life's bare necessities (food, clothing, hygiene articles, and etc.etc.) were in short supply, motivated the boy, found himself in the early period of human self-actualization, finding ways to provide those needed necessities. During times of resettlements to various camps, the family was separated. Mom and Felusia have been taken for a fatal journey to a killing camp.
Roman and he escaped from their transport, to join the band of partisans; kids in their early teens; they were responsible for the killing the Nazi invaders, and slowing up their active genocide. Among them you could find Christians, Jews, Gypsies, and many kids of imperiled minorities.
True, the trauma of those years has been never forgotten, but during the years of this author's rebirth, returning to a "normal" state of health, mind and strength, he was recovering his lost education, and he has found his catharsis in combating the denial of the Holocaust, and also the tragically continued genocide into the 21st.century.
