Yona Goldrich (formerly Goldreich) and his younger brother, Bumek
(Avraham), stood in front of their childhood home in Turka, on the
border between Poland and Ukraine. Half a century had passed since
the brothers last stood on Polish soil but suddenly time seemed to
vanish. In his mind, Yona was once again a boy, nearly fifteen.
World War II raged around them and Turka was under Nazi control.
Death haunted them at every turn. Life for the boys was a desperate
struggle to survive and a constant, heartbreaking search to reunite
with family. Yona's journey would take him through war-ravaged
Europe to Israel and eventually to America - in a daring escape to
freedom.
