Overview~ Outstanding Creator Awards Winner of 2022 A teenager living in a Jewish orphanage. Nazis marching into his Polish village in 1939. How will the 14-year-old boy survive the brutalities on his own and keep his humanity? This shocking memoir of Holocaust Survivor Hank Brodt (1925-2020) offers a personal glimpse into the inner world of a boy under the Nazi regime, shedding light on sickening truths in an honest, matter-of-fact way. Hank Brodt lived through one of the darkest periods of human history and survived the devastation of World War II. Born into a poor family in Boryslaw (Poland), he was placed in a Jewish orphanage. Hank’s childhood is shattered when the Nazis brutally enter Poland. Over the next years he waged a daily battle to survive and lost his whole family. Moving from forced labor camps to concentration camps, one of which features in Schindler’s List, his world behind the barbed wire consisted of quiet resistance, invisible tears and silent cries. It is hard to believe that someone who endured such horrific events could go on to live a life of gratitude - to this very day. Through his unwavering compassion towards others, Brodt managed to keep his humanity and find a way to move forward. Hank Brodt’s Holocaust memoirs are a necessary reminder of one of the ugliest times in the history of human civilization.
