At the age of 13, he ended up in Auschwitz. At 14, he went through the "death march" and found himself in Buchenwald. This is his story.
January 1945. Fourteen-year-old Moshe Kessler gets off the train at the Buchenwald concentration camp along with several hundred other children. Having gone through the horrors of Auschwitz, losing contact with his entire family, and surviving the "death march" - two days of travel in the cold wearing only a thin pajama - Moshe miraculously stayed alive.
In Buchenwald, the Children's Block 66 becomes Moshe's new home. As the Allies approach, the Germans decide to destroy the camp and send the remaining prisoners on a new "death march." However, the guards are unaware that an underground movement is active in Buchenwald, whose main goal is to protect the children from death. The resistance is led by the famous block elder Antonin Kalina, who personally saved over 900 children from all over Europe in the camp.
Carefully reconstructed and emotionally written, the story of Moshe Kessler tells of his life in Block 66, which became one of the most significant chapters in the history of the Holocaust.
