'A dramatic, poignant and astonishing untold story of the Holocaust.' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE
'Extraordinary. One of the most haunting episodes of the war.' DAILY MAIL
'The remarkable story of a unique event - the reprieve of 51 Hungarian Jewish teenagers already naked and trapped inside the gas chambers.' PROFESSOR ROBERT JAN VAN PELT
An unforgettable testament to hope and the bonds of brotherhood, Miracle reveals the untold story of the boys who escaped the gas chamber in Auschwitz, the only known group of Holocaust survivors to walk away from the jaws of the Nazi killing machine.
Early on the morning of October 10, 1944, eight-hundred boys, aged between 13 and 17, were taken out of Block 11 at Auschwitz. The night before, during a visit by Dr Josef Mengele, their identification cards had been stamped with a solitary German word - gestorben - 'died' in English. They were then marched by 25 bayonet-wielding SS men to Crematorium 5, stripped, and herded into a gas chamber.
This book is the story of a true-life miracle of the fifty-one boys who were pulled from that gas chamber - the only Holocaust survivors known to have escaped such a close brush with the Nazi killing machine - and given a second chance at life. A life, of course, that would be so horrifically snatched from those around them.
Based on the first-hand testimonies of six of the boys, six survivors whose stories are shared in this book for the very first time, Miracle interweaves the lives of the boys and the grander sweep of history in which they were held. The result is an unforgettable tale of hope, faith and fortitude in the face of one of the worst crimes against humanity.
'Astonishing. A powerful book.' JEWISH NEWS
