Summary

Mendel (Manny) Steinberg spent his teens in Nazi extermination camps in Germany and Poland, miraculously surviving while millions perished. This is his story.

Born in 1925 in the Jewish ghetto in Radom, Poland, Manny soon realized that people of Jewish faith were increasingly being regarded as outsiders. In September 1939 the Nazis invaded, and the nightmare started. The city's Jewish population had no chance of escaping and was faced with starvation, torture, sexual abuse and ultimately deportation.

Outcry is the candid and moving account of a teenager who survived four Nazi camps: Dachau, Auschwitz, Vaihingen and Neckagerach. While being subjected to torture and degradation, he agonized over two haunting questions: "Why the Jews?" and "How can the world let this happen?" These questions remain hard to answer.

Manny's brother Stanley had jumped off the cattle wagon on the way to the extermination camp where his mother and younger brother were to perish. Desperately lonely and hungry, Stanley stood outside the compound hoping to catch a glimpse of Manny and their father. Once he discovered that they were among the prisoners, he turned himself in. The days were marked by hunger, cold, hard labor, and fear. Knowing that other members of the family were in the same camp kept them alive. Since acknowledging each other would have meant death, they pretended to be complete strangers.

Manny relates how he was served human flesh and was forced to shave the heads of female corpses and pull out their teeth. Cherishing a picture of his beloved mother in his wooden shoe, he miraculously survived the terror of the Polish and German concentration camps together with his father and brother.

Extremely moving

A true life story of survival. What can one say?!! Humbled yet again when reading such heartache pain and suffering. As I listened it was truly hard to imagine this was actually, like so many others, a true account of a survivor, this one more poignantly read by the survivors grandson. Remarkable courage and strength shown throughout. People sometimes ask why do I read such stories like these....my answer is because if we don't the past is forgotten and if forgotten it may all happen again.

how did they survive that?

I have the utmost admiration for the narrator of this book. I presume both author and narrator are related and, how many of us could read the memoirs of our father especially when the story is so harrowing. It’s the kind of book one can only marvel at and how they survived it all. I mean, you can’t imagine how bad t must have been. I think the closest you’d get to it is trying to negotiate the London underground during a particularly busy rush hour and even that falls way short of how it must have been riding in those cattle cars with no food, water or even proper ventilation. What did they do it for? The book also shows you that there might have been decent Germans among the brutes that wanted to help but could not for fear of ending up the way Schmidt did and all because of jealousy or envy or both. It shows the darker side of human nature on both sides of the line. I could live without all that patriotic stuff mind though I do understand his falling over himself to show us how good America is which, of course, we know it is not or, at least, America is only as good or bad as her people and that’s just a point of view.
