Description

A Holocaust memoir by Paul Schaffer, who survived Auschwitz to become a successful industrialist. The author's story begins in Vienna, where he received an education before fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe and spending four years in Auschwitz. This memoir offers a glimpse into his experiences as a Jewish child in pre-war Austria, his time in Vichy France, and his survival in the concentration camp. With photos of the author at work in the Siemens factory, this book provides a personal account of life in Auschwitz and the challenges of reintegration into French society after the war.
