Synopsis: "This book is an important witness, representing millions of people whose only 'criminality' consisted of being been born a Jew. Max Garcia survived the Nazi death camps and saved his personal humanity without any hatred. That is a very personal victory over the barbarity, and it shows a real significance of his personality. The reader will be on an emotional roller coaster as the details of the worst and best of mankind come to life in this book. Max's story is one of brutal honesty and ultimately one of inspiration as a person restarts his life in a new land... by himself." Despite his excruciating ordeal, he was able not only to physically survive but to immigrate to a new country, to travel, to fulfill his career aspirations, to marry and have children, to forgive his tormentors, and to cope with his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Max's story shows the triumph of the human spirit in his desire to survive. The last section of the book, which was written by Max's children and grandchildren, shows how Max's experiences affected not only him but his entire family both positively and negatively and interpret the trauma of the Holocaust from a different perspective from Max's.
