Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Henry Herzog survived the liquidation of the Rzeszow ghetto and endured severe hardships in forced labor camps before escaping to join the partisans and seek revenge for his family's murder. Initially, Henry, his parents, sister Fela, and brothers Szymon and Nathan were forced into the ghetto but survived early deportation rounds by securing jobs with the German railways. They managed to place Fela with a sympathetic Polish family. Herzog chronicles the escalating brutality of Nazi rule in Rzeszow and the complicity of the Jewish council and police in the deportations to Belzec concentration camp, which claimed his parents' lives. Just before the final transport in 1943, Henry and his siblings obtained forged identity papers from underground sympathizers. As they attempted to flee, Henry's brothers were captured, tortured, and killed by the Gestapo. Henry and Fela escaped to Hungary, where she found refuge with another family, but Henry was soon betrayed and arrested. After escaping captivity, he fled to Slovakia, only to be arrested again and placed on a train to a concentration camp. He jumped off the train during transport and eventually found a group of Russian partisans, the Stalinova Brigade, where he avenged the deaths of his family.
