'Seen through the eyes of six year old Tomas, this true story unfolds through the games Tomas plays as he is transported to Sered, Auschwitz and Terezin Concentration Camps, intertwined with the inspirational bravery of his pregnant mother Lolli, who managed to keep Tomas and her newborn baby alive where 1600 children perished and 123 survived. It is incredible to have a small child describe the infinite love expressed by the people on the edge of that abyss. When the doors on the cattle cars bound for Auschwitz slammed shut the victims became silent, faceless statistics and here is a boy giving them life again.' (Publisher's description)
