About this audiobook

Survive. At any cost.

10 concentration camps. 10 different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have taken over. Everything he has, and everyone he loves, have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner -- his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined, but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death, only to confront it again seconds later. Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will -- and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside? Based on an astonishing true story.

    I didnt realize this was a young adult fiction story, but I stuck with it because it was a short read. Well done, I think it would be good introductory material for a high school student.

    "Prisoner B-3087" is a compelling and deeply moving novel that offers a powerful glimpse into the horrors of the Holocaust. The book, written by Alan Gratz, is based on the true story of Jack Gruener, who endured unimaginable suffering during World War II.

    What sets "Prisoner B-3087" apart is its ability to transport readers into the heart of the Holocaust through the eyes of its young protagonist, Yanek Gruener. Yanek's journey from a carefree boy to a survivor of multiple concentration camps is both harrowing and inspirational. Gratz's writing is vivid and evocative, making the reader feel every emotion, from fear and despair to hope and resilience.

    The book serves as a stark reminder of the atrocities committed during that dark period in history, but it also celebrates the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive against all odds. Yanek's courage and determination to endure, even in the face of unspeakable cruelty, is nothing short of inspiring.

    "Prisoner B-3087" is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the Holocaust and the indomitable human spirit. It's a haunting and unforgettable story that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page. Alan Gratz has done a remarkable job in bringing this story to life, and it's a book that deserves a place on every reader's shelf.

    Right now I have a big thing for World War 2 books and this book was exactly what I love to read/listen to. At some points it was really sad while others you had no idea what was going on. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is either learning or interested in World War 2. It really gives you a feeling of what concentration camps were like. There where some more violent parts so I recommend that younger children don’t read this book but other then that it was a pretty good book.
