Child of the Holocaust by Jack Kuper
Beautifully and evocatively rendered, this memoir endures as an example of post-war narrative at its finest.Jankele Kuperblum was just nine years old when he returned home and found his family gone. The night before, Germans had come to his town in rural Poland and taken away all the Jews. Now alone in the world, he has to change his name, forget his language, and abandon his religion in order to survive. Jack wanders through Nazi-occupied Poland for four years with no place to hide and no one to trust.
