One of the last great untold stories of the Holocaust, this astonishing account chronicles one man's unbreakable spirit, unwavering faith, and remarkable courage in the face of evil. At just sixteen, Josef Lewkowicz became prisoner 85314 after the Nazi invasion of Poland separated him and his father from their family, leading them to the Kraków-Plaszów concentration camp. Enduring hard labor under brutal conditions and the constant threat of violence, Josef would witness the horrors of six notorious Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz and Mauthausen. He faced death daily, from forced marches to being used as human shields during bombings. When liberated from Ebensee, he found himself the sole survivor of his extended family of 150. Driven by the need for vengeance, he joined the Jewish police in a displaced persons' camp and became an intelligence officer for the US Army, tasked with hunting down Nazis. His efforts led to the identification and capture of his greatest tormentor, Amon Göth, portrayed by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. Committed to helping orphaned Holocaust children rebuild their lives, this account serves as Josef's extraordinary testimony.
