Beschreibung

The extraordinary story of a child's survival of the Holocaust and the basis for the award-winning documentary directed by Marek T. Pawlowski.Henryk Schonker was born in 1931 into one of the most prominent and highly esteemed Jewish families of Oswiecim-the Polish town renamed Auschwitz during the German occupation. He and his family managed to flee Oswiecim shortly before the creation of the Auschwitz death camp, and survived the war through sheer luck and a strong will to survive. The Schonker family's return to Oswiecim in 1945 provides a fascinating glimpse of challenges faced by Jewish people who chose to remain in Poland after the war and attempted to rebuild their lives there. Schonker's testimony also reveals an astonishing fact: the town of Oswiecim could have become the departure point for a mass emigration of Jewish people instead of the place of their annihilation. Documents included with the narrative provide support for this claim. Although he was only a child at the time, Henryk Schonker's life experience was the Holocaust. Even so, death and the threat of death are not the focus of this memoir. Instead, Schonker, with a touching personal style, chooses to focus on how life can defy destruction, how spirituality can protect physical existence, and how real the presence of higher powers can be if one never loses faith.
