TEENAGER IN THE DEATH CAMPS

Some people have a knack for survival, for getting out of jams. Twelve-year-old David Karmi, a master of the art, is about to be put to the ultimate test.

War has consumed the world and David finds himself in the middle of a human slaughter on a planetary scale. Whole towns are vaporized. Cities obliterated in firestorms. More than fifty million people will dieâ€”twelve million either gassed, shot, hanged, worked to death or subjected to biological experiments.

And now Davidâ€™s luck has finally run out. Having already endured one horrifying deportation, he and his family are rounded up for the second time and forced onto a train that will bring them all to the very heart of the Nazi extermination machine.

Separated from his parents and siblings, the teenager is hurled into a nightmare of death camps, forced marches, sickness, violence and depravity. On his own, through the torturous months that follow, David endures Auschwitz, Dachau, and the Warsaw ghetto.

Though heâ€™s just a kid, David will try to stay alive by his wits and instincts, taking terrifying chances, making split-second decisions, and learning the tricks and techniques of survival. But time is running out. His only hope is that the Nazis will be defeated and the American soldiers will free himâ€”and his familyâ€”before itâ€™s too late.

â€œ[Karmiâ€™s debut forgoes] the despair employed by Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel, instead echoing the optimism of Anne Frankâ€¦Eminently readable and largely remarkable.â€
â€”Kirkus Reviews

"â€˜Some people have a knack for survival, for getting out of jams.â€™ Karmi is one of those, and he faces the ultimate test as a young teen in Nazi-occupied Europe as he and his family are deported to Auschwitz."
â€”Publishers Weekly

"Survivorâ€™s Game reads not so much like a memoir but a novel, replete with tension, drama, and twists and turns. Recommended."
â€”Midwest Book Review

"This is a story we all need to knowâ€¦the cost of forgetting is too high."
â€”New York Times best-selling author Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff
