The Will to Survive, the Strength to Remember

About this book

A testament to the will to survive and the strength to remember the Holocaust. Roman Kent's autobiography recounts his idyllic childhood in pre-war Poland, shattered by the Nazi invasion. Experience the horrors of the Lodz Ghetto and Auschwitz-Birkenau through his eyes, as his family is torn apart and their property confiscated. Follow Roman and his brother Leon's desperate fight for survival in Gross-Rosen and Flossenburg concentration camps, their liberation by American troops, and their journey to America to rebuild their lives.
