Separated from his parents who are deported to the camps by the Nazis,
David struggles to survive, alone, hungry and scared, until he
eventually finds his way to the city of Warsaw. There he learns from
other Jewish boys how to work in the black market, dodging the police
and the Gestapo and finding a few scraps to eat. The eventual day comes
when the ghetto is cleared and everyone is herded into trains for the
long trip to the camps, but David already knows what to expect there...
Will David survive? Can he outwit them one more time? A beautifully
written story based on the testimonies and diaries of young people who
experienced the Holocaust.
