Born into a respectable Czech family, Felix's early years were idyllic. But when Nazi persecution threatened in 1938, his father travelled to England, hoping to arrange for his family to emigrate there. His efforts came too late--and his wife and children fell into the hands of the Fascist occupiers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Thus begins a harrowing tale of survival, horror, and determination. Over the following years, Felix survived 5 concentration camps, including Terezín, Auschwitz and Birkenau, as well as the Death March from Blechhammer in 1945. Losing both his brother and mother in the camps, Felix was liberated at Buchenwald and eventually reunited at the age of 17 with his father in Britain, where they built a new life together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An extraordinary memoir, as well as a meditation on the nature of memory.
