As the chilling echoes of "Never again" ring increasingly hollow, the relevance of The Boy in the Back becomes painfully evident.

An unflinching chronicle of terror, determination and resilience, this book tells Jan Blumenstein's life story from the terror of the Nazi trains to Auschwitz, to the joy of a peaceful old age.

Through his lens, we confront the October 7th massacre and the uncomfortable reality that history's shadows are creeping back into the present. Deeply moving, this book is essential reading for anyone who values life.
