- Narrated by: John Sackville
Penguin introduces Jeremy Dronfield’s edition of The Boy Who Followed His Father to Auschwitz, read by John Sackville.
In 1939, Gustav Kleinmann, a Jewish wrapman in Vienna, was arrested by the Nazis. With his teenage son Fritz, he was sent to Buchenwald in Germany. An unimaginable ordeal begins when the pair are beaten, starved, and forced to build the very concentration camp in which they are held.
As Gustav prepared to move to Auschwitz, a certain death sentence, Fritz refused to leave him. Through the horrors they witnessed and the suffering they endured, there was one constant that kept them alive: the love between father and son.
Based on Gustav’s secret diary and meticulous archival research, this audiobook tells for the first time his and Fritz’s story – a story of courage and survival unmatched in history Holocaust.
The story is really great. Very good and emotional read. A story that I can’t pass up, it draws you in and you feel their pain, courage and belief in surviving the horror and being reunited.
