The Boy From Block 66: A WW2 Jewish Holocaust Survival True Story (Heroic Children of World War II)
About this product
Soon to be adapted into a major stage play, this international bestselling true story is a spellbinding story of hope and courage, as one boy must face tragedy and despair to survive the most terrible place on Earth.
He has endured more than any child ever should, but now he must survive Block 66. January, 1945. 14-year-old Moshe Kessler steps off the train at Buchenwald concentration camp. Having endured the horrors of Auschwitz-Birkenau, lost touch with his entire family, and survived the death march in the freezing European winter, he has seen more than his share of tragedy.
Moshe knows only one thing about Buchenwald. Everyone knows it.
If you want to survive, you have to get to Block 66.
The Germans are cruel and determined – but they are not prepared for Buchenwald’s secret resistance, which rises up with one mission only: to protect the camp’s children from harm.
This is the incredible true story of Moshe Kessler and Block 66 – the children’s block that was at the forefront of one of the most shocking and inspiring stories of Holocaust survival. Read more
