Child of the Holocaust: A Jewish Child in Christian Disguise

The harrowing true story of a young boy exhiled in World War II Poland, this memoir of survival has been hailed as a quintessential classic, as powerful as Anne Frank’s Diary of a Young Girl, and celebrated for its rare beauty.

Jack Kuper was only nine years old when he came home to find everyone in his family gone. The night before, Germans had come to his village in rural Poland and removed all the Jews. Now alone in the world, he has to change his name, forget his language, and abandon his religion in order to survive. Jack wanders through Nazi occupied Poland for four years, with no place to hide and no one to trust.
