Charming, revealing, stories.
This book of short stories is a window into humanity. The stories are so personal that I feel like I have met the characters somewhere, sometime in my past. I loved the characters' solutions to problems and several times remembered a time when I had or wished I had, handled a problem with a similar bent. An excellent read!

THE DIARY OF NATAN BORENSTEIN: A WORLD WAR II PRISONER AND PARTISAN FIGHTER Dec 31, 2018

by Clive Aaron Gill, Simon Hough

( 7 )

$4.99

This compelling book tells of courage, survival and hope during the crisis of the horrific Nazi Holocaust, when acts of cruelty were born out of hatred and discrimination. People risked their lives to resist the attempted destruction of Judaism and Jewish communities, and to resist Nazi antisemitism and tyranny during the relentless grip of the Third Reich.

The remarkable, fictional novel has a powerful emotional pull in describing the painful reality, hardships and struggle of Jewish life in Poland during World War II, when millions of lives were lost. It was inspired by true events occurring in communities unprepared to resist the brutal Nazi occupation that resulted in forced labor, starvation, torture, and systematic murder of Jews, Roma and others. The characters represent good and evil during World War II.

Natan, a happy boy, grows up in a loving family in a town in southwestern Poland unaware of the grave danger that awaited him. When Germany occupied Poland, seventeen-year-old Natan and his family are seized and forced out of their home into an overcrowded cattle car. He has an unwavering will to go on living while witnessing horrors. Natan and his family are transported to a torturous, notorious concentration camp in Poland where he meets a woman prisoner and falls in love.

How does Natan survive and cope with the loss of loved ones?
Will his love affair last?
Discover how three hundred brave prisoners choose to escape from the camp in a desperate, hope-filled move, against all odds, no matter what the cost.
Where do they go, and who do they meet?
Who trains Natan to become an armed partisan fighter and saboteur?
How does he fight against terror and rescue people?

This inspirational tale of love, friendship and acts of mercy during Natan’s journey to liberation, relates the incredible resilience of the human spirit.
