Description
Gyuri, a fourteen-year-old Hungarian Jew, is given a rare day off school to witness his father's final act before being sent to a labour camp. Two months later, Gyuri finds himself assigned to a 'permanent workplace', marking the beginning of his journey to Auschwitz.
As Gyuri navigates the harsh realities of the concentration camp, he struggles to find his place among his fellow Jews. His estrangement from them makes him a keen observer, driven to make sense of the atrocities he witnesses. This poignant and powerful story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and survival.
