The Boy Who Followed His Father to Auschwitz

The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz.
In 1939, Gustav Kleinmann, a Jewish upholsterer from Vienna, was captured by the Nazis. Together with his teenage son Fritz, they were sent to the Buchenwald camp in Germany. Thus begins a heartbreaking story in which its protagonists will be victims of hunger and beatings, while working as forced labor in the construction of the same concentration camp where they will remain captive.

When Gustav receives news of his transfer to Auschwitz, a sure death sentence, his son Fritz will do everything possible not to be separated from his father and follow him to Poland.

In the face of the daily horror they will witness, only one force will keep them alive: the love between a father and his son. Based on the secret diary Gustav wrote during six years of captivity, as well as interviews with family members and survivors, this book emerges as an extraordinary tale of courage, loyalty, and survival.
