The boy who went to Auschwitz after his father

Vienna, 1939. The Nazi police captures the simple artisan of Gustav Kleinman and his son Fritz and sends them to Buchenwald, where they experience torture, hunger and grueling work on the construction of a concentration camp. A year later, their bonds are subjected to a difficult test when Gustav is sent to Auschwitz - which, in fact, means a death sentence - and Fritz, without thinking about his own survival, follows his father. Founded on the secret diary of Gustav and a thorough archival study, this book first tells an incredible story of courage and survival, which has no analogues in the history of the Holocaust. “The boy who went to Auschwitz after his father” is a reminder of the worst and better that is in people, the power of family love and the power of the human spirit.
