The Day the Nazis Came: The True Story of a Childhood Journey to the Dark Heart of a German Prison Camp - [Onhax]

An poignant and timeless true story of one child's journey to a German prison camp during World War II.

The Day the Nazis Came is an utterly unique memoir, depicting the world of prison camps through the eyes of a child. Our narrator's parents did their best to protect his emotional well-being, downplaying the extent of dangers and presenting every new day as an adventure.

But there is only so much you can do to hide such a dark truth and, by the time he was six years old, Stephen Matthews had actually seen and experienced things of unspeakable horror: he had witnessed a bombardment by the Luftwaffe and had been deported from occupied Guernsey, along with his family, to a prison camp in the heart of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich; he had seen men die in front of him; he had walked alongside Jews coming straight off the cattle-trucks from Bergen-Belsen; he had nearly drowned, been menaced by Alsatian guard dog, and had his hand broken by a German guard for attempting to feed Russian prisoners.
