Batory Publishing "Romek's Lost Youth - The Story of a Boy Survivor"
Batory Publishing has released a very special manuscript which was written decades ago, but only now is in the process of being published. It is a story that must be told and cannot be lost in the obscurity of time.
"Romek's
Lost Youth - The Story of a Boy Survivor" was narrated by the late Ken
Roman, and written by his close friend and collaborator, the late John
James. Sadly, Ken Roman passed away in 2016, preceded by John James many
years earlier.
This is a personal memoir of Ken's horrific experiences in the Nazi-German concentration camps during World War Two. Romek was only 13 years old when the Nazi Germans invaded Poland. He was torn away from his family and imprisoned in work camps and concentration camps, enduring years of deprivation, starvation, torture, slavery, and constant terror. When Flossenburg camp was liberated by the Americans near the end of the war, Romek was finally freed. The nightmare was over, but a new one emerged - he learned of the horrendous news that none of his family had survived, and that an apocalypse of hellish proportions had been unleashed by Hitler culminating with the murder of 6 million European Jews. Romeks experiences had left an indelible mark on his soul, which has haunted him all his life.
