Owlkids The Last Train: A Holocaust Story

"The book is the culmination of 5 years of research into one of the most heartening events of World War II. The book's journey began with an e-mail from Rona's son, Daniel: "Mom, read this article and then show it to Dad." The article was titled "A Train Near Magdeburg." The instant Rona opened the link, she knew the article was about the death train from which her husband Paul, then a child, was liberated by the US Army on April 13, 1945. The Last Train is the true story of the Auslanders' (Paul's original surname) tremendous ordeal and the incredible coincidence that saved their lives. It is also the true story of Matt Rozell, a high-school teacher from upstate New York, who uncovered the story of the train and organized a symposium that brought Paul and other train survivors face-to-face with the soldiers who saved their lives 64 years earlier."--
