The Stable Boy of Auschwitz (by Henry Oster)

My favorite genre of books is historical fiction. And I specifically enjoy those based in WWII. Henry’s story of surviving the horrors of prison camps during Hitler’s reign of terror is heartbreaking. Henry’s story is unique in that he was a German Jew. So not only was he judged unworthy by the Nazis, he was ostracized by those with whom he lived in the concentration camps. An emotionally moving story of not only Henry’s time in the camps but also his adjustment to life once he was freed. One comment is that it took a while to get into the meaty and heartwrenching part of the story. But it was worth it to learn of Henry’s life. Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
