About this audiobook
The day Abram and his mother arrived at Auschwitz death camp they both knew it would be her last. In their final moment together, Abram's mum urged her nineteen-year-old son to 'Do everything humanly possible to survive, and tell people what happened here.' Then she was taken to a gas chamber and murdered. Abram had already endured and survived so much until that moment but with his strength of hope, sometimes reduced to a flicker, he survived.
After liberation, Abram travelled back and forth across Europe, doing secret underground work and getting into dangerous scrapes. He met the love of his life, fellow Auschwitz survivor, Cesia, and the young couple made their way to Australia. Without bitterness and always with perspective, Abram has never forgotten his mother's last words to him. Abram and Cesia have remained dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust and to living their lives to the fullest in tribute to its victims.
Full of wisdom, insight and daring, with a love story at its heart: for Cesia, for Australia and for life itself.

An inspiring, heartbreaking story of courage, loss, inhumanity and above all, love.
