In August 1945, the first of 732 child survivors of the Holocaust reached Britain. Initially settled in the Lake District, they formed a tightly knit group of friends whose terrible shared experience is almost beyond imagining. This is their story, which begins in the lost communities of pre-World War II central Europe, moves through ghetto, concentration camp, and death march, to liberation, survival, and finally, fifty years later, a deeply moving reunion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin Gilbert has brought together the recollections of this remarkable group of survivors to tell their astonishing stories. The book is a testament to the human spirit's enduring power and the resilience of the human mind in the face of unimaginable tragedy. It is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand the darkest chapters of human history and the remarkable stories of those who survived them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 131 x 197 x 33 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474626392\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sir Martin Gilbert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097656029434,"sku":"9781474626392","price":8.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1659702126912_book.jpg?v=1659793413","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-boys-the-true-story-of-children-who-survived-the-concentration-camps-9781474626392","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
