Survivors club : the true story of a very young prisoner of Auschwitz Cover Image Book

Survivors club : the true story of a very young prisoner of Auschwitz / Michael Bornstein, Debbie Bornstein Holinstat.

Bornstein, Michael, 1940- (author.).

Summary:

In 1945, in a now-famous piece of archival footage, four-year-old Michael Bornstein was filmed by Soviet soldiers as he was carried out of Auschwitz in his grandmother's arms. Survivors Club tells the story of how a father's courageous wit, a mother's fierce love, and one perfectly timed illness saved Michael's life, and how others in his family from Zarki, Poland, dodged death at the hands of the Nazis time and again with incredible deftness. Working from his own recollections as well as extensive interviews with relatives and survivors who knew the family, Michael relates his inspirational story with the help of his daughter, Debbie Bornstein Holinstat.
