He eventually was able to come to the US, learn English, and did graduate to become a practicing optometrist and university professor for many years. It is his story of hope and perseverance no matter the circumstances. This is a very moving book that is needed now and in the future. Not as long as Night, Anne Frank, Schindler's list, or The Book Thief, but also very moving. NEVER FORGET. William Hope has the voice and cadencing to enhance it all and to remind us that this is no work of fiction. I requested and received a free temporary audio from Bookouture Audio/Thread via NetGalley. Thank you sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Henry Oster was just five years old when Adolf Hitler took power in 1933. He was the last survivor of the more than two thousand Jews who were rounded up by the Gestapo and deported from Cologne. Assigned to back-breaking labor in the Auschwitz horse-breeding stables, Henry clung to the belief that if he made himself hard to replace, he might stay alive. Through it all, Henry found the strength to survive and was one of only twenty-three to emerge alive from the concentration camp after the war. How did one starving boy, alone and forgotten, survive this ultimate hell on earth? The Stable Boy of Auschwitz is the heartbreaking, mesmerizing, and unforgettable true story that will destroy your faith in humanity ... and then build it back up again." -- Back cover.

There is so much packed into this book. And yes it is all terrible and hard to believe. To know human beings did this always amazes me. Man’s inhumanity to man! But, what I discovered is, I do not think I ever really knew what happened to the children after liberation. To be honest, I don’t think I thought any of the children survived. So, to say my eyes were opened is an understatement. This story had me crying and terrified for all the children. I just cannot fathom people doing this to other people…ok…I have said that already but this story just brings it to the surface.
The narrator, William Hope, is incredible. He must have had to pause in places and get his emotions in check!
Need a heart wrenching memoir…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this book from the publisher for a honest review. ( )
