Codename: FLAME is the parallel to Dr. Niklewicz's first
riveting historical novel, "Last Train to Dachau." That story was
based on his mother's wartime experiences and the plight of the
Miller family that lived and survived the terrible challenges and
brutality that was forced upon them by the Nazis.
As was his first book, Codename: FLAME is an historical novel
based on the true-life struggles of courageous Poles in the time of
war. His father Stanislaw Niklewicz was such a person and his life
is featured in this second book. The contrast between the two
stories is vast. The Millers, a family of five survived through
patience and the strength of a family unit that did everything to
stay together. Stanislaw on the other hand, was all alone as he ran
away from his pending draft into the Hitler Youth at the age of 15;
eventually becoming a Partisan fighter.
Follow the hardships that Stanislaw endured while being alone in
the forests of Poland; first as a teenage Boy Scout courier and
then as a Partisan fighter. The saga of Stanislaw (Staszek) is a
portrait of a defiant boy turned into a man by the necessity and
passion to live free or die fighting against the tyranny of the
Germans.
His defiance and determination for freedom continued even after
being captured behind enemy lines during a secret mission and his
subsequent brutal imprisonment at the infamous Mathausen
Concentration Camp.
As you read this book, try to think of what it was like to be a
boy soldier at 15. Then try to think of the courage and fortitude
it took to survive through the torture of an extermination camp. A
camp that had no other purpose than to work you to death; something
you were equally determined to boldly defy.
