One boy wore a yellow star, the other a swastika. One went to a concentration camp, the other to a two-week training camp for future Nazis.
Their side-by-side stories contrast the experiences of a Jewish boy (Auschwitz, Mauthausen, a death march, d.p. camps) and the son of a Nazi officer (the Jungvolk camp, food shortages, Allied strafing). After the war, these two enemies, these two boys, immigrated to America, became friends, and compared their stories in an extraordinary act of compassion: this memoir.
Quantities are limited.
