Jacob was a carefree child enjoying a meager yet comfortable life in a small Polish village with his loving parents and five siblings. But this was not his destiny. This resilient, emotive eleven-year-old boy grew up far too quickly as the Nazis marched through Poland on their mission to exploit and exterminate the Jewish people. His entire world was literally destroyed, piece-by-piece. Evicted from his home and separated from his family, he was forced to live in ghettos and concentration camps for more than five years. He witnessed the atrocities and failures that shattered nations and devastated generations. Jacob struggled, adapted and learned to survive while facing horrifying circumstances, losing everything except his own humanity. Written decades after his liberation and immigration to a new world, this harrowing, breathtaking, insightful and emotional story follows a young man's journey through innocence, desperation, regret and hope.
