The best book of 2019 according to The Times.
One of the most unusual biographical books about the Holocaust is a tragic, but complete hope of the story of the son and father of Fritz and Gustav Kleinmanov, who passed together the hardships of the Nazi camps. When Gustav is sent from Buchenwald to Auschwitz, in fact, writing down his death sentence, Fritz without hesitation follows him. Only family concern for each other allowed them to withstand all the tests - which was rare at that time: there are practically no stories about how family members managed to pass together.
based on the secret diary of Gustav, careful archival research and oral history, this book first tells an incredible story of courage and survival, which has no analogues in the history of the Holocaust. "The boy who went to Auschwitz after his father" is a reminder of the worst and better that is in people, the power of family love and the power of the human spirit.
"deeply touching, humane book." - The guardian
"brilliantly written, bright, strong real story that deserves to be read and remembered. She perfectly conveys the power of communication between father and son. " - Hezer Morris, author of the book "Tattoo from Auschwitz"
"The horrors of the Holocaust are expertly transmitted on a human scale in this exciting book ... available even to those who are not familiar with history." - Publishers Weekly
"carefully worked out, gloomy story about the family of Kleinman, a Viennese family devastated by the Holocaust ... One of the most touching aspects of the book is the relationship between Fritz and his father, both frantically fought to stay together, and not one of them I wanted to throw another. The resulting book clarifies cruelty as a regular book on history cannot do. ” - Kirkus Review
