DEATH MARCH ESCAPE: The Remarkable Story of a Man Who Twice Escaped the Nazi Holocaust

1-245740

Author recounts his father surviving the relentless horrors of two brutal concentration camps and then escaping twice en route to a third. Based upon a photo that the author had previously never seen of his father on the Mauthausen Memorial's website, he seeks to explore the rest of the history that his father never told him while in the camps. Beginning in the verdant hills of his father's Hungarian hometown, travels to the foreboding rock mines of Mauthausen and Gusen concentration camps, to the dust-choked roads and intersections of the death marches, and, finally, to the makeshift hiding places of his father's rescuers. Contains 32 black and white illustrations.
