The boy who survived ten concentration camps

Suitable for both younger and older readers. For fans of "Her Name Was Sarah" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." "The Boy Who Survived Ten Concentration Camps" tells the true story of Yanek, a Jewish boy during World War II in Poland. When the Nazis begin their hunt for Jews in the country, his familiar life transforms into a nightmare that, unfortunately, is real. He is transferred from one concentration camp to another, starved, tortured, and exploited, and faces death repeatedly. It's a miracle how Yanek—or, according to the tattoo on his arm, PRISONER B-3087—ultimately survives World War II. But what may astonish you most as a reader is the boy's strength to survive. How does Yanek manage to maintain his hope and, above all, to remember who he truly is?
