Survivors Club: The True Story of a Very Young Prisoner of Auschwitz

Review
The story of Michael Bornstein's survival from Auschwitz is rich with historical detail and courageous family members. The details of the story were derived from his memory and research as Michael was very young at the time all of this took place. He was assisted with the telling and researching of the story by his daughter, a news producer. Michael's story is very much about the destruction of the small community in Zarki, Poland as very few survived. He does not shy away from the horrific details of the holocaust. Many photographs are included. A worthy purchase for any middle school.
Overall Book Score: very good
