Summary:

A true story of courage, love and friendship set against the darkest days of the Second World War. When author, Rik Arron, stumbled unknowingly into the life of ninety-year-old Holocaust survivor, Sam Gontarz, he didn't realise that they would go on a journey together into the heart of the ghettos and concentration camps of Nazi Germany. This journey would change both their lives forevermore; and one that would illuminate some of the worst days in human history with courage, friendship, love, and a powerful message that is needed more than ever in the world today. While dealing with dark subject matter, the book is a celebration of survival and spirit when faced with appalling adversity.
