When Gustav was set to be transferred to Auschwitz, a certain death sentence, Fritz refused to leave his side. Based on Gustav's secret diary and meticulous archive research, this book tells his and Fritz's story for the first time - a story of courage and survival unparalleled in the history of the Holocaust.
