Synopsis

Gidon Lev arrived at the Nazi concentration camp of Theresienstadt in the Czech Republic as prisoner number 885. He was six years old. Selected as one of the Best Books of 2020 by the Kirkus Review, The True Adventures of Gidon Lev is the quirky, hopeful, and thoroughly inspirational story of the unusual life of a Holocaust survivor and the writer who loved him.

The book offers a warm, sometimes difficult, and always deeply reflective story of a Holocaust survivor as he reconciles his horrifying past with the present. The book examines the nature of traumatic memory and contextualizes the historical moments that Gidon continues to live through. One part memoir, one part travelogue, and one part history that you thought you knew, The True Adventures is a love letter to life that IndieReader called "Inventively structured and impeccably written." (5 star review)
