In 1944, Michael Bornstein was only four years old when he entered the death camp, which made him one of the youngest prisoners of Auschwitz.Michael shares his tragic but inspiring story of survival, based on his own memories, as well as on the stories of relatives and friends. This is a story about how the courage of his father, the fierce love of his mother and one sudden, untimely illness were able to save his life, and how other members of his family from the village of Zharki in Poland again and again with incredible resourcefulness avoided death at the hands of the Nazis."I hope that readers, seeing the injustice, will rise up against it, even if it is directed against them. I hope that this book will inspire them to be kinder to classmates who may differ from them in some way. But for the most part, I hope that the world will never forget the victims of the Holocaust."Michael Bornstein
