In June 1943, 13-year-old Thomas and his mother, after long persecution, were deported to the Auschwitz camp. In the Auschwitz I men's camp, Thomas was away from his mother and had to do extremely hard work to save his life. Despite the cruelty that reigned around him, Thomas did not lose the will to live and looked for light where it seemed impossible to find it. He became determined and painted in detail what happened in the German concentration camps of Auschwitz. The drawings were not preserved, but after almost two years spent in inhumane conditions, Thomas was released and again began to draw what he had to go through. The book includes 26 drawings. “In my memoirs, I shed light on the cruelty and evil of a world about which no one should have known anything - but historical justice has triumphed. However, the most important thing is that they tell about life in the camps. How we, the prisoners, survived and tried not to lose heart, grasping at every glimmer of humanity and kindness in our neighbors and in ourselves, surrounded by total cruelty. At the center of it all was a unique story about us young people who were destined to grow up and be formed in the camps, nurturing the power of unity, friendship and hope." Thomas Give
