Although the events in Outcry occurred
over half a century ago, history really does repeat itself, and thus the
message presented by this book is very timely.
Author's blurb:
Outcry is the candid and moving account of a teenager who survived four Nazi camps: Dachau, Auschwitz, Vaihingen and Neckagerach. While being subjected to torture and degradation, he agonized over two haunting questions: "Why the Jews?" and "How can the world let this happen?" These questions remain hard to answer.
