Sub-titled A Tale Of Courage In The Shadow Of Mengele. Chilling stuff. Joe got swept up in Hitlers invasion of Poland and survived the prison/death camps for near 5 years. Not sure if that's good luck or bad. Finally liberated by U.S. troops he decides to tell his story. Amazing what he lived through. Hard for me to imagine how this many people could be led to slaughter with little resistance. I would have been dead early on. I'm sure hundreds of these boks have been written and this would be among the best. Only complaint is the details of the day to day activities gets kind of monotonous. Of course I guess prison camp live can't be very exciting, except when they come to march the weak and women and children off to the gas chambers.
