Description: Please read item descriptionSURVIVORAUSCHWITZ, THE DEATH MARCH, AND MY FIGHT FOR FREEDOM(SAM PIVNIK)Sam Pivnik is the ultimate survivor from a world that no longer exists. On fourteen occasions he should have been killed, but luck, his physical strength and his determination not to die all played a part in Sam Pivnik living to tell his extraordinary life story.In 1939, on his thirteenth birthday, his life changed forever when the Nazis invaded Poland. He survived the two ghettoes set up in his home town of Bedzin and six months on Auschwitz’s notorious Rampkommando where prisoners were either taken away for entry to the camp or gassing. After this harrowing experience, he was sent to work at Fürstengrube mining camp. He could have died on the ‘Death March’ that took him west as the Third Reich collapsed and he was one of only a handful of people who swam to safety when the Royal Air Force sank the prison ship Cap Arcona, in 1945.Now in his eighties, Sam Pivnik tells for the first time the story of his life, a true tale of survival against the most extraordinary odds.ISBN 978 1 473 68804 9 This 2013 edition paperback is in good overall condition although there are some signs of wear to the cover in the form of minor bumps and knocks to the edges and corners and on the front cover face (see photograph).
