The Survivor

Winner of the Canadian Jewish Literary Award for Holocaust Literature, The Survivor tells the remarkable true story of Josef Lewkowicz, a Holocaust survivor who endured six concentration camps and became a covert Nazi hunter dedicated to justice. The narrative details his efforts to bring notorious war criminals to account and rescue orphaned children, all while leading an extraordinary life as a diamond dealer, befriending prominent leaders, and raising a family. Now living in Jerusalem at ninety-six, Lewkowicz shares his compelling testimony, embodying resilience and hope amidst unimaginable history.
