Boy Who Followed His Father Into Auschwitz

The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz
Bok av Jeremy Dronfield
The inspiring, true story of a father and son's fight to stay together and to survive the Holocaust. In 1939, Gustav Kleinmann, a Jewish upholsterer in Vienna, was seized by the Nazis. Along with his teenage son Fritz, he was sent to Buchenwald in Germany. There began an unimaginable ordeal that saw the pair beaten, starved and forced to build the very concentration camp they were held in. When Gustav was set to be transferred to Auschwitz, a certain death sentence, Fritz refused to leave his side. Throughout the horrors they witnessed and the suffering they endured, there was one constant that kept them alive: the love between father and son. Based on Gustav's secret diary and meticulous archive research, this book tells his and Fritz's story for the first time - a story of courage and survival unparalleled in the history of the Holocaust.
En sann berättelse om familjen Kleinmanns öde under andra världskriget. Vi får främst följa far och son Kleinmann och deras tid i koncentrationslägren. En väldigt gripande bok om de hemskheter som pågick då, men samtidigt en så fin berättelse om bland annat kärlek, lojalitet och hopp. Författaren har dessutom lagt ner stort arbete på att få allt historiskt korrekt, vilket märks på den gedigna fotnotslistan som man kan följa under bokens gång om man är intresserad.
Helt klart en bok värd att läsa så deras berättelse får leva vidare och inte glöms bort.
