About this listen

A top “must-have” for any listener of Holocaust and World War II survival accounts. This incredible true story is both a witness to the Holocaust through Polish eyes and the story of how Henry Zguda, a Polish Catholic swimmer, survives Nazi concentration camps Auschwitz and Buchenwald.

At times humorous, always gut-honest, this account fills a huge gap in historical accounts of Poles during World War II. Winner of 2018 Arizona Authors Association Literary Contest - First Place for Published Nonfiction, 2018 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award – Silver for Biography, and other recognitions.

This book was very well put together. Very accessible. Educational but not too academic. Well written and performed, we feel like we get to know both Henry and the author intimately.

A very engaging collection of recollections
