When American soldiers liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp, where more than 60,000 people had died, in May 1945, they could not believe their eyes. Along with the adult prisoners, several hundred boys aged 11–14 came out to meet them. Among them was Romek Vaisman, who was left an orphan due to the war. Psychiatrists who examined the children were afraid that they would never be able to return to a full life, they were so crippled and wild. Many years later, Romek tells his story: about the horrors of war, about hard work in prison and what helped him not to give up . His book shows: the end of the war is not the end of the trials. Having gone through hell on earth, the most difficult thing is to cope with the loss of the entire family, to find love and strength in your heart to move on.
