Non-Fiction Memoir
Thomas Buergenthal, now a Judge in the International Court
of Justice in The Hague, tells his astonishing experiences
as a young boy in his memoir A LUCKY CHILD. He arrived at
Auschwitz at age 10 after surviving two ghettos and a labor
camp. Separated first from his mother and then his father,
Buergenthal managed by his wits and some remarkable strokes
of luck to survive on his own. Almost two years after his
liberation, Buergenthal was miraculously reunited with his
mother and in 1951 arrived in the U.S. to start a new life. Now dedicated to helping those subjected to tyranny
throughout the world, Buergenthal writes his story with a
simple clarity that highlights the stark details of
unimaginable hardship. A LUCKY CHILD is a book that demands
to be read by all.
