About the Book

Inspired by true events, this gripping and emotional novel describes the tragic fate of a group of wealthy Jewish American businessmen imprisoned in a Polish concentration camp overseen by a particularly sadistic SS official. The prisoners are promised their freedom in an exchange for German POWs, but their repatriation will only occur if they themselves cover the costs of their journey. Knowing that they are being manipulated but desperate to return home, they agree to the terms. It is then when the group's spokesman, Herman Cohen, decides to ransom the life of the young Polish Jew Katerina Horovitzova, who is to be gassed with her entire family. The story serves as both a record of the horrors of war as well as a testament to humankind's capacity for selflessness, and will stay with readers long after the final page has been turned.
"Inspirada en una historia real, esta novela apasionante y conmovedora describe el destino tragico de un grupo de acaudalados hombres de negocios judeoamericanos, presos en un campo de concentracion polaco dirigido por un retorcido oficial de las SS. Los prisioneros reciben la promesa de que seran liberados gracias a un intercambio por prisioneros alemanes, pero su repatriacion solo se producira si ellos mismos son quienes corren con los gastos del periplo. A pesar de saber que estan siendo utilizados, deciden aceptar las condiciones de la oferta. Es entonces cuando el portavoz del grupo, Herman Cohen, decide comprar la vida de la joven polaca judia Katerina Horovitzova, a punto de ser gaseada junto a toda su familia. La historia sirve como evidencia de los horrores de la guerra asi como testimonio de la capacidad de la humanidad por el altruismo, y afectara al lector mucho despues de que haya leido la ultima oracion."
