A Holocaust memoir of courage, survival, and resilience—now available in English for the first time.
On July 16, 1942, eleven-year-old Joseph Weismann was rounded up with his family and 13,000 other Jews in Paris. Held in the horrific conditions of the Vélodrome d’Hiver before being transported to the Beaune-la-Rolande internment camp, Joseph was brutally separated from his parents—who were sent to Auschwitz. Told they would soon be reunited, Joseph and his friend Joe Kogan saw through the lie and risked everything in a daring escape.
Eluding guards, crawling under razor-sharp barbed wire, and fleeing into Nazi-occupied France, Joseph found freedom—but his fight for survival was just beginning.
For decades, he kept his story to himself. Now, in After the Roundup, he shares his harrowing journey—a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
