| Summary Note |
"Torn from their home and deported to the infamous Lodz, Poland Ghetto, Henry and his family were imprisoned on their way to the Nazi death camps. A Gestapo deception finally pushed them onto a stifling, filth-ridden cattle car, on a ride to a place whose name has come to symbolize the worst of humanity: Auschwitz. He was assigned to work in the Auschwitz stables, breeding horses for the Russian invasion of the German war effort. He survived selections for the gas chambers, a firing squad, a death march through the killing Polish winter...[and] was one of only 19 German-speaking Jewish boys to emerge alive from the concentration camps after the war"-- |
