Alexander Rucki is the child of a Jewish Holocaust survivor, and his book is both a reminder of mans breathtaking inhumanity to man and the absolute miracle of survival. These long-term effects are seen in hindsight over sixty years later. One can only begin to imagine what it wouldve been like to be sixteen and the sole survivor of a Nazi death camp. Its been done beforeDiary of Anne Frank and Schindlers List among the two most popularbut this tragedy is constantly revisited, and I suspect this story is now ripe for the retelling. Alexanders mother not only survived Auschwitzher brother, sister; and parents did notbut she married, bore two sons, and moved to a new continent with a new language, far away from the hell of Europe.
