The Boy from Buchenwald. The Incredible Story of a Child Who Survived the Holocaust

When American soldiers liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp in May 1945, where over 60,000 people perished, they could not believe their eyes. Along with the adult prisoners, several hundred boys aged 11-14 came out to meet them. Among them was... Romek Weissman, who had been orphaned by the war. Psychiatrists examining the children feared that they would never be able to return to a full life, so damaged and wild they were.
Years later, Romek shares his story: about the horrors of war, the hard labor in captivity, and what helped him not to give up. His book shows that the end of the war is not the end of trials. Having gone through hell on earth, the toughest part is coping with the loss of one's entire family and finding love and strength in one's heart to continue living.
