No circulation

1943. Twenty-year-old Dutchman Wim Alozeriy escapes from a labor camp in Nazi Germany, hiding on the roof of a moving train. In an attempt to hide, he lives on a farm, where for months he sleeps in a wooden chest... buried underground. But this does not last long: under cover of night, Wim is captured and taken to the Gestapo. There begins the nightmare of the Holocaust. He is to survive three concentration camps - Amersfoort, then Hsuum and Neuengamme. But the most terrible trial awaits him at the end of the war.
Along with other prisoners, Wim finds himself on the notorious German liner "Cap Arcona," which comes under attack from the Royal Air Force. British fighters sink the ships carrying 7,000 prisoners. Few manage to escape, but Wim Alozeriy survives one of the greatest shipwrecks of all time. And many years later, at 94, he finally decides to tell writer Frank Krake his incredible story. As its last witness.
