El chico que siguió a su padre hasta Auschwitz

Synopsis of El chico que siguió a su padre hasta Auschwitz

In 1939, Gustav Kleinmann, a Jewish upholsterer from Vienna, is captured by the Nazis. Together with Fritz, his teenage son, they are sent to the Buchenwald camp in Germany. Thus begins a heartbreaking story in which both will be victims of hunger and beatings, while participating as labor in the construction of the same concentration camp in which 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 not to separate from his father and follow him to Poland. Faced with 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 the six years of captivity, as well as interviews with family members and survivors, this book emerges as an extraordinary story of courage, loyalty and survival.
