A ten-year old boy hides at the top of a stairwell listening to his
father tell his harrowing story-a story about almost being gassed
to death in a Nazi concentration camp. He doesn't dare ask his
father to explain. His dad offers no further details. Follow Mort
Laitner's journey from childhood to retirement as he obsesses about
his father, the Holocaust, Judaism, and life. Laitner learns about
his father's nightmarish travels during World War II from his
father's Holocaust tapes, from books describing how he worked as a
doctor in slave labor camps, from a doctoral thesis on Holocaust
studies, and from a transcript of his father's testimony at a US
military tribunal which led to a Nazi commandant's death sentence.
Clue by clue, missing details come to light describing that fateful
day when his father stood naked and faced the gas chamber. Read the
remarkable story of how Wolf Laitner was sent to Russia with a unit
of 349 fellow Jewish prisoners in disguise. They were given German
military training and uniforms bearing swastikas, then sent to
Russia during Operation Barbarossa to work on the railway system.
Hitch a ride across America, Europe, Asia and Africa, from the
1950s through the new millennium as Mort Laitner shares his
family's stories about survival, prejudice, luck, love, and
miracles.
