“He saw before him a half-dead skeleton of a man. It became clear to him at that moment that there would be nothing fair about this match. Harry was eighteen years old, big and strong. Schneider had kept him well fed, not overworked or tortured. Harry looked across the ring and saw the fear on the face of his challenger and he knew that this man had not volunteered. Harry remembered Schneider’s words about how the fight would end when one man was unable to continue and now he understood what that meant.”
Interesting and moving story, thank you for sending it to me , Leo
You did a great job capturing the feeling of the book, Jamie. You made a very powerful case for the importance of Holocaust education.
Thank you for your feedback and for reading! It was a great book and I hope others take the time to read it.
