Roman Halter is an optimistic and boisterous schoolboy in 1939, when he and his family gather behind their net curtains to watch the Volksdeutsch neighbours in their small town in western Poland greet the arrival of Hitler's armies with kisses and swastika flags. Within days, the family home has been sized, 12-year-old Roman is a slave of the local SS chief, and, returning from an errand, silently witnesses his Jewish classmates being bayoneted to death by soldiers at the edge of town. And there beings the journey - first into the Lodz ghetto, then on to Auschwitz, then Stutthof and a firebombed Dresden - a remarkable six-year journey through some of the darkest caverns of Nazi Europe, which claimed the lives of every other member of his family and the 800-strong community of his boyhoood.
