Book Description

0791426203 978-0791426203 August 31, 1995
This story of a Jewish family's survival in Nazi-occupied Poland by assuming "Aryan" identities shows the Starkopf family's courage and tremendous will to live. The book documents their journey from Warsaw to the immediate vicinity of one of the most frightful places on earth--the Treblinka death camp. The Starkopfs survive on false papers and false identities as they witness the tragedy of millions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Moving, July 9, 2008
By 
J. Phelps (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Will to Live (Paperback)
This is a remarkable book. It is different from many books on the Holcaust because the main characters do not end up in a concentration camp or death camp. Instead, they remain in Poland and try to survive by maintaining Christian identities. Without giving anything away, the method that the parents select for their baby daughter to escape the ghetto is not to be believed. The book also provides a stunning first-hand account of the conquest of Poland by Germany and the Soviet Union.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, March 21, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Will to Live (Paperback)
I justy read this book and it was very informative and interesting. Such hardships by all but informative as well. I just recently visited Dauchau Concentration Camp in Germany and it makes me appreciate what they went through so much more. Everyone should read some of the books on the Holocaust.
