| book description |

En 1939, Gustav Kleinmann, un tapicero judÃo de Viena, fue capturado por los nazis. Junto a Fritz, su hijo adolescente, fueron mandados al campo de Buchenwald, en Alemania. Empieza asÃ una desgarradora historia en la que sus protagonistas serÃ¡n vÃctimas del hambre y de las palizas, mientras participan como mano de obra en la construcciÃ³n del mismo campo de concentraciÃ³n en el que permanecerÃ¡n cautivos. Cuando Gustav reciba la noticia de su traslado a Auschwitz, una segura sentencia de muerte, su hijo Fritz harÃ¡ todo lo posible por no separarse de su padre y seguirlo hasta Polonia. Ante el horror cotidiano del que serÃ¡n testigos, solo una fuerza les mantendrÃ¡ con vida: el amor entre un padre y su hijo. Basado en el diario secreto que Gustav escribiÃ³ durante los seis aÃ±os de cautiverio, asÃ como en entrevistas con miembros de la familia y supervivientes, este libro emerge como un extraordinario relato de coraje, lealtad y supervivencia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In 1939, Gustav Kleinmann, a Jewish upholsterer from Vienna, was captured by the Nazis. Together with Fritz, his teenage son, they were sent to Buchenwald camp in Germany. Thus begins a heartbreaking story in which the protagonists will be victims of hunger and beatings while they participate as labor in the construction of the very concentration camp where they will remain captive. When Gustav receives the news of his transfer to Auschwitz, a sure death sentence, his son Fritz will do everything possible to not be separated from his father and follow him to Poland. In the face of the daily horror they will witness, only one force will keep them alive: the love between a father and his son. Based on the secret diary that Gustav wrote during his six years of captivity, as well as interviews with family members and survivors, this book emerges as an extraordinary tale of courage, loyalty, and survival.
