Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true story of courage, love and friendship set against the darkest days of the Second World War. When author, Rik Arron, stumbled unknowingly into the life of ninety-year-old Holocaust survivor, Sam Gontarz, he didn’t realise that they would go on a journey together into the heart of the ghettos and concentration camps of Nazi Germany. This journey would change both their lives forevermore; it was one that would illuminate some of the worst days in human history with courage, friendship, love, and a powerful message that is needed more than ever in our modern world. The result is this book, which tells the incredible life story of Sam Gontarz, from his childhood in Poland to his confinement in a Jewish Ghetto, his time in concentration camps including the infamous Auschwitz, his liberation, his time looking for a home, and how he built a loving family in the United Kingdom. While dealing with dark subject matter, this book is a celebration of survival and spirit when faced with appalling adversity. As a first-hand source describing the horrors of the treatment of the Jewish people in the lead up to and throughout the duration of the Second World War, it is an unmissable addition to any historical bookshelf.
