Description
He was nine. One day he came home and found everyone gone.
To survive, he had to change his name, forget his language and abandon his God. Disguised, he wandered through a nightmare landscape of terror, with no safe hiding place and no one to trust: a tiny, lone creature hunted by the most virulent evil humanity has ever spawned.
Child of the Holocaust is the searing, true story of how Jack Kuper escaped Poland and emigrated to Canada at the age of 15. It is not a story you will ever forget.
