On the verge of dying from starvation, the terrified man was rescued when a former teammate helped move him from hard labor to a safer kitchen job until his transfer to Buchenwald in 1943. And as he clung to the friendships with his fellow inmates, he continued to hope even when forced on a death march to Dachau…Told through a series of heartfelt conversations with the author, Henry recounts his gut-wrenching story of miraculous survival and of refusing to succumb, even amidst the most brutal of horrors.
