Inhaltsangabe

A frontline memoir of escaping danger and surviving a wartime camp, told with immediacy and grit.

In this gripping account, the author recalls moments on the edge of danger and inside a German-ruled camp during wartime.

From stark sensory detail to sharply observed moments, the book blends memory with reflection. It captures weather, crowded spaces, and the strange calm that can settle over danger, all while tracing the emotional path from risk to a difficult kind of release.
