When German troops come to the small village of Belzyce, Poland, in
1939, nine-year-old Jakub Szabmacher's world is forever changed. At
first the humiliations inflicted by the Germans seem small, but the
conditions worsen until eventually Jakub's family and much of his
village are murdered, and he is sent to various concentration camps
in Poland and Germany, where he struggles to survive the terrible
conditions of camp life. Finally liberated in 1945 from the
concentration camp in Flossenburg, Germany, Jakub is befriended by
American troops and with their help brought to the United States,
where he takes the name Jack Terry. Coauthor Alicia Nitecki, whose
grandfather was also imprisoned at Flossenburg, uses Terry's
personal memories to tell young Jakub's story, as well as
unpublished memoirs, private letters, and interviews with former
inmates of the Flossenburg concentration camp and the townspeople
of Belzyce and Flossenburg. Part history, part autobiography.
"Jakub's World offers an anguished young boy's perspective on the
Holocaust.
