Publisher's Summary
"It's not a novel. It's not based on a true story. It really happened, and I am a witness. You will be, too."
Told from the teenage/ young adult perspective of Holocaust in four European countries, all bound for a common destiny-Bergen Belsen and the final train transport intercepted by young American soldiers on April 13, 1945.
AS A YOUNG TEEN living a comfortable life with family, what do you do when the Germans march into your town to persecute you, and your neighbors and your friends turn their backs? As life turns upside-down and you are now a young prisoner-fighting for survival in a concentration camp and FORCED TO BOARD A DEATH TRAIN to nowhere-how do you go on as people are dying all around you?
*
AS A YOUNG AMERICAN SOLDIER in World War II, fighting brutal battles across Europe-having been shot at and shelled, having seen your friends killed, and no longer even able to remember what your own mother looks like-what is the plan when you STUMBLE ACROSS A HOLOCAUST TRAIN full of suffering families that shocks you to your core, even after you think you have seen it all?
*
And what happens when the SOLDIERS AND SURVIVORS again MEET FACE TO FACE, seven decades later?
"I survived because of many miracles. but for me to actually meet and cry together with my liberators-the 'angels of life' who literally gave me back my life-was just beyond imagination!" -Leslie Meisels, Holocaust survivor
