Thomas Buergenthal, now a Judge in the International Court of Justice in The Hague, tells his astonishing experiences as a young boy in his memoir A LUCKY CHILD. He arrived at Auschwitz at age 10 after surviving two ghettos and a labor camp. Separated first from his mother and then his father, Buergenthal managed by his wits and some remarkable strokes of luck to survive on his own. Almost two years after his liberation, Buergenthal was miraculously reunited with his mother and in 1951 arrived in the U.S. to start a new life.
Now dedicated to helping those subjected to tyranny throughout the world, Buergenthal writes his story with a simple clarity that highlights the stark details of unimaginable hardship. A LUCKY CHILD is a book that demands to be read by all.

Review:
A tour de force: simply narrated, at times almost naïve - and even more shocking as a result (Camilla Long Sunday Times News Review)
The detachment of distance, coupled with the author's gracious spirit ... is what makes this memoir so rewarding (Genevieve Fox Saturday Telegraph)
What Buergenthal has to say, both in bearing witness to the Holocaust and in describing his moral coming-to-adulthood, deserves our attention. He has serious things to tell us about forgiveness, justice and the curious effect of deep trauma on the mind. (Sam Leith Daily Mail)
A very life-affirming narrative ...positive and uplifting (New Books magazine)
A book that extends the boundaries of the genre ... Buergenthal demonstrates a great depth of compassion and humanity and this inspiring book becomes essentially a story of hope and a reaffirmation of the generosity of the human spirit (Stephen J. Mckinney Expository Times)
