Survival Stories: The Boy From Block 66

Having endured more than any child should ever have to, 14-year-old Moshe Kessler must now survive in Block 66, Buchenwald concentration camp, in January 1945. Stepping off the train, Moshe carries with him the traumatic memories of Auschwitz-Birkenau, where he lost touch with his entire family and endured a death march in the harsh European winter.

Upon arrival, Moshe is aware of one crucial fact about Buchenwald – everyone knows about Block 66. It is the key to survival in this brutal and unforgiving environment.

Moshe's story, intertwined with the narrative of Block 66, is a testament to the resilience and courage displayed by those who fought to survive one of the darkest chapters in human history. This true account sheds light on the incredible and inspiring tale of Holocaust survival, focusing on the children's block that became the epicenter of a remarkable story of resistance and hope.
