A father’s love can defy the darkest evil.
In 1939 Vienna, Gustav Kleinmann and his sixteen-year-old son, Fritz, are torn from their home and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp. Through starvation, torture, and terror, they cling to each other for the will to survive. When Gustav is condemned to Auschwitz, Fritz makes an unthinkable choice: he follows his father into hell rather than be separated.
Drawn from Gustav’s secret diary and interviews with surviving family, Jeremy Dronfield’s The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz tells the true story of endurance, loyalty, and hope in humanity’s bleakest hour.
A #1 Sunday Times bestseller, it stands alongside The Tattooist of Auschwitz as a testament to courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond of family.
