A Boy's Story A Man's Memory- Surviving The Holocaust 1933-1945

In this stirring and remarkable true account, Oskar Knoblauch (born 1925 in Leipzig Germany), reflects on his childhood and youth while growing up in his native Germany. Thrust into the dark years of Nazi Germany's hatred and brutality of Jews, Oskar writes of his family's struggle to survive the holocaust of World War ll (1933-1945). Character rich emotionally gripping, and historically relevant, Oskar tells the chilling and poignant details of those years. During this time, as Oskar moves from boyhood to manhood, he never loses hope and faith not only in himself, but in the unlikely people who would make the ultimate difference in this life or death time of his life.

" I just wanted to say thanks. You changed my life!" Alyssa Denney --- Student, Age 13

" Oskar's message woven throughout this book --- one of beauty in the face of terror; hope in the face of loss; humanity in the face of depravity --- is one that every single reader of any age can learn from and cherish. Yours is a story none of us will ever forget." Lindsay Taylor --- Teacher, Summit Academy

" A Boy's Story--A Man's Memory gives a different perspective on the horrors of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. I find his story of survival, resilience and resourcefulness amazing!" Michael D. Weltsch -- PhD Adult Education

"Oskar's compelling story of survival, respect, and freedom is one that teaches young and old that the freedoms we have are to be treasured and respected. Oskar's life story is one that reminds all of us that our life here on Earth is very precious. The invaluable message that my students and myself have all taken away from his horrific experience as documented in his book is that courage, tolerance, respect, and love will make us better human beings, and will teach us the life lesson that we should never take anything or anyone for granted."
