About this book

The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz: A True Story of Family and Survival by Jeremy Dronfield is a remarkable and heart-wrenching account of courage, loyalty, and love. Based on the secret diary kept by Gustav Kleinmann, a Jewish upholsterer from Vienna, and meticulous archival research, the book tells the extraordinary story of Gustav and his sixteen-year-old son Fritz. Arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp, they miraculously survive the German forces’ brutality. But when Gustav is slated for transfer to Auschwitz, Fritz makes an unthinkable choice: he insists on going with his father.
