It takes courage beyond belief to sneak out in the night to dig in
the garbage for scraps to keep from starving when you know you
would be killed if you were caught, or to crawl through ice and
snow to freedom because the muscles in your legs atrophied from
sitting in a hay mow for almost two years. To defect to the west,
leaving all your family behind, not knowing when or if you'll ever
see them again, or to endure the work, starvation diet, and
beatings of concentration camp life also were courageous acts.
However, these and other challenges were everyday living for
millions such as those in this book. While those around them fell
victim to WWII atrocities and did not survive, these people fought
hard and won the right to live.
