This book is the fascinating true story of Mitchell Pawlak, a survivor of one of the worst periods in the history of the world. Mitchell was born in Bayonne, New Jersey, where he lived until the Depression brought hard times to his family. When his family moved to a farm in Poland, his life changed as World War II brought strife and devastation to many people. Mitchell was an American teenager who spent more than three years in death camps and managed to survive while many people eventually lost hope and died. His experiences in the Holocaust, his thoughts, and his courage are vividly portrayed in this memoir of his life. Mitchell believed that there must have been a guardian angel watching over him because there were many instances when he escaped death by seconds. His instinct for survival and ability to adapt to his situations were remarkable. The story is written by his daughter and brings to light his story of courage, his wit in staying alive, and the saga about his ordeal.
