Jack Hersch grew up hearing the stories of how his father, Dave Hersch, twice escaped the brutal death marches forced on concentration camp prisoners by the Nazis at the end of World War II.
What he didn’t know about his father’s experience was the incredible confluence of luck, fate, and will to survive that made Dave unique in the history of the Holocaust.
Jack explains how he becomes his own detective and unravels an incredible story of perseverance, courage, resilience and ultimate drive as he finds-out what really happened to his father Dave and the people who sacrificed so much to ultimately help him survived.
