A Triumphant of the Human Spirit

Joseph Korn's story of his father's triumph as a young man surviving the worst experiences of the holocaust caught me by surprise. I was not expecting such a spiritually uplifting story. Abe Korn not only survived the most arduous physical and mental trials through the most horrifying of experiences, he survived with incredible humanity intact that bore no hatred or malice to his captors. This is the most spiritually uplifting book I've ever read on the holocaust, and of the rare type that surely must have insprired Roberto Benigni in his Emmy-award winning movie 'Life is Beautiful.'

This might be the best book you can read.

Abram Korn was a man of great courage. After suffering at the hands of the Nazis in a ghetto and, later, in many concentration camps, he still did not lose his faith, his courage, or his humanity. In fact, he ended up marrying a German girl! This book lets us have a glimpse of what day-to-day life was like in the camps, and how much survival mattered.

A wonderful book

This is a wonderful book. It showed that to be a survivor of the Holocaust required ingenuity, resourcefulness, luck and faith. The ending of the book brought tears to my eyes. Abe Korn was the epitome of the meaning of the word Mench.
