Miracle: The Boys Who Escaped the Gas Chamber at Auschwitz by Michael Calvin

AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER "A harrowing collection of survivor stories that testify to the bravery of individuals.” - Kirkus Reviews An unforgettable story of survival and resilience in the death camps of World War II. A miracle unfolded on October 10, 1944, at Auschwitz. Amidst the gas chambers and crematoria, a ragtag group of Jewish boys, aged thirteen to seventeen, were marched naked into Crematorium 5, their names already crossed out in Nazi ledgers as “gestorben,” or “dead.” They would soon be put to death in the infamous gas chambers. But just moments before Zyklon B pellets were released, fate intervened: three German officers arrived on motorbikes and ordered their evacuation, selecting them to unload a consignment of potatoes from Greece. This is their astonishing story. Miracle: The Boys Who Escaped the Gas Chamber in Auschwitz illuminates their incredible journey from the brink of death to lives of profound purpose and resilience. Experience the raw emotion, the struggle for survival, and the enduring power of faith amidst unimaginable cruelty. These boys—who survived concentration camps, death marches, and constant dehumanization—rebuilt their families and became living testaments to hope. Read more
