The Survivors' Club. The True Story of a Prisoner from Auschwitz

In 1944, Michael Bornstein was only four years old when he entered the death camp, making him one of the youngest prisoners of Auschwitz. Michael shares his tragic yet inspiring survival story, drawing on his own memories as well as the accounts of family and friends. It is a tale of how his father's courage, his mother's fierce love, and one sudden but timely illness managed to save his life, and how other members of his family from the village of Zharki in Poland repeatedly evaded death at the hands of the Nazis with incredible resourcefulness. I hope that readers, seeing injustice, will rise against it, even if it is directed against them. I hope this book will inspire them to be kinder to classmates who may be different from them. But most of all, I hope the world never forgets the victims of the Holocaust. Michael Bornstein
