Gr 6-10-"If I had known what the next six years of my life were going to be like, I would have eaten more. I wouldn't have complained about brushing my teeth, or taking a bath, or going to bed at eight o'clock every night." Yanek Gruener was 10 years old when the German army invaded Poland in 1939 and trapped his family inside the walls of the Jewish ghetto in Krakow. Over the course of World War II, he saw his parents deported by the Nazis and survived 10 different concentration camps. Through Gratz's spare, persistent prose, the story of the boy's early life unfolds with the urgency and directness necessary for survivor stories. While some liberties have been taken, with the permission of Gruener and his wife, Ruth, also a survivor, the experiences and images come directly from the Grueners' collective memories of the war. An author's note provides further biographical information. A powerful story, well told.-Sara Saxton, Tuzzy Consortium Library, Barrow, AKα(c) Copyright 2013.

When Hitler’s army entered and occupied his native Kraków, 10-year-old Yanek knew his life might change, but he had no idea of the horror that lay ahead. His remarkable survival story begins with a dramatic, emotional punch and then chronicles such moments as his secretive bar mitzvah in a warehouse basement, the systematic round up of Jews, and his deportation to the Plaszow concentration camp, the first of 10 camps he would suffer but survive. He recalls encounters with such Nazi figures as the sadistic Amon Goeth and describes acts of wanton, viscious brutality. In an appended note, Gratz explains that the novel is based on actual events in survivor Jack Gruener’s life but he has “taken liberties with some times and events” to provide a better overview. The account includes basic historical information including essential aspects of WWII. A map would have been helpful, but this essentially true story is a good starting point for students unfamiliar with the Holocaust. Pair it with Doreen Rappaport’s Beyond Courage (2012) and Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl. Grades 5-8. --Linda Perkins
10 concentration camps.
10 different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly.
It's something no one could imagine surviving.
But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face.
As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have taken over. Everything he has, and everyone he loves, have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner -- his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087.
He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined, but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death, only to confront it again seconds later.
Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will -- and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside?
Based on an astonishing true story.
very good Prisoner B-3087: A Novel Based on a true story by Ruth and Jack Gruener is by Alan Gratz. This book is good for middle school students. It is by Scholastic. The book is great and is very realistic. It covers the information from Jack’s life; but some of the times and things have been changed to suit the story.The story is Jack’s story as he went through ten concentration camps during the war years and managed to survive. He and his family lived in Poland. When he was living in the Krakow ghetto with his parents. They lived in a pigeon coop on the roof of the building where they once had an apartment. He worked in a tailor shop. He had stopped off at a friend’s house on the day that his parents were taken. They were picked up in line buying food. At the age of thirteen, he was suddenly alone in the world. He was picked up in 1942 and taken to Plaszow. At this time, he thought he was the only remaining member of his extended family. He was to discover his Uncle Moishe was in Plaszow. Through a series of close calls with the commandant and kapos, he managed to work his way through ten different camps before his liberation. He remembers each camp vividly. Eventually, Jack told his story but it was always painful for him.The book is fantastic and though it is fiction, it is told in a concise manner and is told with little graphic detail. It is a perfect book for middle school.100% Recommend Prisoner B-3087 is a very moving story that tells of the hardships of simply being Jewish during what we call the Holocaust. I recommend this book because it shows how we are so very very very 'lucky' for what we have and that we should see life for not what it is but for what it could be.Bought for my son's summer reading.
