Description
An international bestseller— the story of a man who survived three concentration camps and the largest shipwreck of World War II
1943. A twenty-year-old Dutchman, Wim Aloserij, escapes from a labor camp in Nazi Germany, hiding on the roof of a train moving through the night. In an attempt to hide, he lives on a farm, where for months he sleeps in a wooden chest hidden underground. But this, too, doesn’t last long: under cover of night, Wim is seized and delivered to a Gestapo prison. That’s where the nightmare of the Holocaust begins. He will have to survive three concentration camps—first Amersfoort, and then Husum and Neuengamme.
However, the most terrible test awaits him at the end of the war.
Along with other prisoners, Wim is aboard the notorious German liner «Cap Arcona», which is hit by an air assault by the Royal Air Force. British fighters sink ships carrying 7,000 prisoners. Only a few manage to escape, but Wim Aloserij survives one of the greatest shipwrecks of all time. And years later, at the age of 94, he finally decides to tell writer Frank Krake his incredible story— as its last witness.
