The search

Meer over het boek

Having thought himself to be the sole survivor of the group of eighty-nine boys assigned to Aushwitz-Birkenau Men's Camp B II D in 1944, Gerhard Durlacher was stunned to discover that he was not alone. He sets off to track down his fellow survivors and find out why such a relatively large percentage of them survived. A remarkable and unique document, The Search ends in a reunion of the "Birkenua boys" in Israel in May 1990 where they finally unraveled the mystery surrounding their selection and subsequent survival. The tragic truth is crueler than any of them could have imagined.
