El niño del establo de Auschwitz

Henry Oster was just a boy when history entered his Cologne home and ripped his childhood away. Deported to the Łódź ghetto and then to Auschwitz, he was assigned to the camp's stables, where the Nazis bred horses for the war. There he met Barbarossa, a magnificent stallion he had to care for amidst hunger, fear, and barbed wire. In the midst of the horror, Henry learned to survive day by day, clinging to an impossible routine. Through the eyes of one of the last witnesses to the Nazi horror, these memoirs, written with the pulse of a historical novel, speak of a stolen childhood and a life determined to go on. The true story of a Jewish boy who, after losing everything, found an unexpected way to survive in Auschwitz with horses. While millions struggled to survive, one boy found his only chance with horses. This is Henry's true story: a story of resilience, humanity, and hope amidst the horror of the Holocaust. "I found myself in the stables of Auschwitz and felt a glimmer of hope. If I could be of use, if I could help those horses, perhaps I would be able to stay alive."
