Consider Jack Weiss, who at fourteen years of age in 1944 was deported from Hungary to the notorious death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Desperate to stay with his forty-four-year-old father, and barely able to pass as a grown man, he endured the horror of inspection upon arrival at Auschwitz by a man he remembers as Joseph Mengele. His period in the camps was shorter than that of many others, but ended no less dramatically, with a death march westward as Nazi officers forced inmates of the eastern camps to retreat before the advancing Russians. Finding himself alone at the end of the war, he travelled through orphanages and refugee camps dotted across Europe, until finally, at the age of seventeen, he was brought by the Canadian Jewish Congress to Winnipeg, Manitoba, to build a new life for himself." "Prompted by his family to preserve his story, Weiss began work on his autobiography. Torn between the desire to forget his Holocaust experience and the need to have his children and grandchildren understand it, Weiss confronted his demons."--BOOK JACKET.
