Boy from Buchenwald

In "Boy from Buchenwald," Robbie Waisman recounts his harrowing experience as one of the "Buchenwald Boys" following the liberation of the concentration camp in 1945. Struggling with hunger, trauma, and the uncertainty of his family's fate, Waisman and his peers grapple with anger and violence. Their journey toward healing takes a pivotal turn when they receive support from figures like Albert Einstein and Rabbi Herschel Schacter. This poignant narrative beautifully illustrates Waisman's transformation from profound loss to resilient joy, earning accolades such as the Sheila A. Egoff Children's Literature Prize.
