Summary This book offers insight into the Holocaust and the Polish resistance by entwining the stories of two survivors, Lou Frydman and Jarek Piekalkiewicz. As teenagers during World War II, the two men defied daunting odds, lost nearly everything and everyone in the war, and yet summoned the courage to start new lives in the United States.--From book jacket.
