*A powerful memoir of survival, recounts Jack Kuper's harrowing childhood in Nazi-occupied Poland. After losing his family, he survives by hiding in barns, attics, and forests, constantly reinventing his identity to stay alive. Moving from one household to another-sometimes sheltered, sometimes exploited-he navigates fear, hunger, and the constant threat of discovery. Told thru the eyes of a child forced to confront unimaginable brutality, Kupe's story reveals both the cruelty and unexpected kindness he encountered along the way. It is a stark, intimate portrait of resilience, identity, and the will to endure in the darkest of times. *
