One survivor’s account of Blechhammer
Andrea Warren frames the Holocaust through the recorded testimony of Jack Mandelbaum, who was twelve when separation from his family led to imprisonment at the Nazi-run Blechhammer concentration camp. The account centers on the conditions he endured—scarce food, harsh daily life, and constant threats to his health—while holding onto thoughts of his family as a source of survival. Archival black-and-white photographs from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum accompany the narrative, adding historical context to Mandelbaum’s firsthand experience. A focused work of juvenile nonfiction, it presents one boy’s survival within the wider history of Nazi persecution and the Holocaust.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Young readers studying the Holocaust and World War II
- Readers interested in survivor testimony and biography
- Families and educators seeking Holocaust nonfiction for ages 9–12
