A gripping novel based on the astonishing true story of a boy who
survived ten concentration camps. Based on the true story by Ruth and
Jack Gruener. Ten concentration camps. Ten different places where you
are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one
could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a
Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have
taken over. Everything he has and everyone he loves have been snatched
brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner--his arm
tattooed with the words Prisoner B-3087. He is forced from one
nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all
around him. He encounters evil he could never haver imagined, but also
sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. Can Yanek make it
through the terror without losing his hope, his will to live--and, most
of all, his sense of who he really is inside?
