About the book: 2023 / International bestseller - the story of a man who survived three concentration camps and the largest shipwreck of the Second World War. 1943. Twenty-year-old Dutchman Wim Alozery escapes from a labor camp in Nazi Germany by hiding on the roof of a moving train. In an attempt to hide, he lives on a farm, where he sleeps for months in a wooden chest hidden underground. But this is not for long: under the cover of darkness, Wim is captured and taken to a Gestapo prison. This is where the nightmare of the Holocaust begins. He will have to survive three concentration camps - first Amersfoort, and then Husum and Neuengamme. However, the most terrible test awaits him at the end of the war. Together with other prisoners, Wim finds himself on the notorious German liner Cap Arcona, which came under air attack from the Royal Air Force. British fighters sink ships carrying 7,000 prisoners. Few manage to escape, but Vim Alozery survives one of the greatest shipwrecks of all time. And many years later, at 94 years old, he finally decides to tell the writer Frank Kraka his incredible story. As Her Last Witness. "A remarkable story... A gripping narrative that begins as a drama about a reckless escape during war, and quickly turns into a horror story about man's inhumanity to man... An important and unforgettable read." – Jonathan Dimbleby, writer, historian, broadcaster
