In 1944, Michael Bornstein was only four years old when he was sent to the death camp, making him one of the youngest prisoners of Auschwitz. Michael shares his tragic but inspiring story of survival, drawing on his own memories, as well as the stories of his family and loved ones. This is the story of how his father's courage, his mother's fierce love, and one sudden but timely illness saved his life, and how other members of his family from the village of Zarki in Poland, again and again, with incredible resourcefulness, avoided death at the hands of the Nazis. “I hope.” that readers, seeing injustice, will rebel against it, even if it is directed against them. I hope this book will inspire them to be kinder to classmates who may be different from them. But most of all, I hope that the world will never forget the victims of the Holocaust." Michael Bornstein
