Harry Leng, the son of Polish Jews, was born in Kozhnitsa, and from an early age studied the watchmaking trade with his father along with the brothers Meilekh and Moisheleh. With the start of World War II, the Leng family found itself on the brink of destruction, and the brothers couldn’t even imagine that their father’s tools would become their lifeline. Under constant threat of death, they repaired watches for the Nazis in the ghettoes and death camps. Each time, the brothers bought their lives back by doing the work in terrible conditions. Harry, Meilekh, and Moisheleh kept working and praying, hoping to survive until liberation. The cover uses a real photograph of the Leng brothers.
