Synopsis "Path That Luck Took"

How one boy’s luck leads him through the terrors of the Holocaust.



When the Germans liquidate the ghetto of Jasło, his hometown in Poland, Stanley is left not knowing where to turn. He finds himself in multiple Nazi camps, including Plaszow and Buchenwald, on a surprising and terror-filled path to liberation and survival.



The path of young Stanley’s life takes an abrupt turn when Germany invades Poland and soldiers arrive in Jasło with their new rules for the town’s Jews. Forced to live crammed into a ghetto, Stanley is left bewildered at what his life has become. His path to survival finds him bravely, or foolishly, sneaking into and out of ghettos and Nazi camps. To Stanley, it’s only by luck that he avoids the mass deportations to the death camps. From the infamous Plaszow camp to liberation from Buchenwald, Stanley makes his way through the surprising and terror-filled Path That Luck Took.

Key Selling Points:


A child who survives the Holocaust in multiple camps and ghettos who is liberated from Buchenwald, before immigrating to North America, where he builds a successful life.
Major themes are luck and the foolishness that comes from youth and ignorance and the chaos of war. In the background of the book there is loss but also the inability to grieve and to ever come to terms with such extreme loss, when your entire family and community are destroyed. But in the end there’s also resilience, as the author builds a new life and finds love, success and family.
This memoir stands out because its 97-year-old author is still living and able to tell his story of survival. The story’s emphasis on luck is a powerful examination of what it meant to survive the Nazi persecution of Jews during the Holocaust, told here largely through the eyes of a child.
Memoir to be released On Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day.
