A sad and touching telling of the author’s personal account while living through and ultimately surviving the Holocaust. Sad at times but uplifting also. The author remained positive and made it his life’s work to spread knowledge about the atrocities he endured during this time.

This is the personal story of a Holocaust survivor. I had the extreme good fortune to meet this humble man n two occasions and I was honored to have him sign my book. Yes, President Ahmadinejad, the Holocaust really happened. There’s not much I can say about this amazing man’s story except read it and remember.

Amazing story of the survival of Sam Offen and his brothers from the Concentration Camps during WWII. Sam tells the story of his family before the War, during the War, and after the War. He and his brothers lost over 50 members of their family, yet it is a story of hope and survival.

A true story of a Holocaust survivor. It is a quick read and is gripping during the middle few chapters. Mr. Offen has a phenomenal outlook on life even with the atrocities he has faced.

Even more gripping since we met the author in DC and he spoke to the kids and answered questions. Sweet man with an incredible outlook on life.
