**Miracle by Dan Gordon** is a powerful work of Holocaust history that reads with the urgency of a true-life thriller, while staying grounded in the lived experience of those who endured Auschwitz. It tells the little-known story of a group of Hungarian Jewish teenagers who came terrifyingly close to death in a gas chamber—and survived.
Set in October 1944, the book follows the boys taken from Block 11 to Crematorium 5 after their papers were stamped with the word for “died”. From that moment, Gordon traces how fifty-one boys were pulled back from the brink, and what it meant to carry on when so many others could not.
Drawing on first-hand survivor testimonies shared publicly for the first time, *Miracle* weaves personal voices into a wider historical picture of Nazi persecution, friendship, resilience, and moral courage.
Perfect for readers of WWII nonfiction, survivor memoir, and carefully researched Jewish history.
Add it to your shelf and discover an astonishing, deeply human story.
