His birth name was Ludwig (Lale) Eisenberg but Lale took his sister\u2019s married name, Sokolov, to avoid trouble with the Russians in 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The author, Heather Morris, has stated that 95% of the story is based on Lali\u2019s retelling and the rest imagined as creative license. However, certain historical organizations have reported that many of the events described in the novel are inaccurate or outright impossible. Therefore, this story should be viewed as a dramatized account of the characters\u2019 lives based more on memory than factual data and not be taken as a true historical account of what life at Auschwitz was like for the thousands of prisoners held there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lale&#8217;s Story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cattle car surges through the countryside, one of many in a long line. <strong>Lale Eisenberg is among hundreds of men shoved into the train wagons normally used to transport cattle.<\/strong> There are too many heads to count, and they\u2019re packed in so tightly that they can\u2019t even sit. Lale has been fortunate to get a wall spot where a slight breeze trickles in through the wooden slats. It\u2019s enough to partially relieve the stench of his filthy hair and skin and that of the others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this 10-foot-wide train car, a man sleeps against Lale\u2019s shoulders. The other men don\u2019t like Lale Eisenberg much. He\u2019s dressed in a suit, tie, and pressed white shirt, his normal attire for travel. And why not? He\u2019s on his way to work for the Germans. That\u2019s the deal he made to keep his family safe back home in Krompachy, Slovakia, and he always dresses to impress. He has one suitcase and a little money stashed in his jacket pocket. He hopes he can buy his way into a better, higher-ranking work duty. He hopes his four languages will make him valuable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People keep asking him where they\u2019re headed. He assumes it\u2019s because he\u2019s dressed so well, but he doesn\u2019t know why they\u2019re asking him or where they\u2019re headed. <strong>All he knows is that he\u2019s been on this train for three days, and he\u2019s as confused and scared as everyone else, even if he doesn\u2019t show it.<\/strong> Lale tries to answer with something encouraging. A young man suddenly pushes his way through the stacked men and asks Lale why he\u2019s so calm. His name is Aron, and he wonders if they shouldn\u2019t try to fight when they get off the train. Lale reminds him that the Germans have guns. Fists can\u2019t beat guns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lale Eisenberg keeps his mind from the final destination. He concentrates on his family, on the word \u201csafe.\u201d Through the slats, he catches a glimpse of a field of poppies. He never knew they grew wild like that. The next time he gives a girl flowers, they will be handpicked, he thinks. This thought leads to others, and soon he is making a list of all the things he will do when he\u2019s home. <strong>He is 25. His whole life is ahead of him.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Back Home<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>News spread across the region that Jews in small communities were being sent to work for the Germans.<\/strong> They were no longer allowed to work normal jobs or own their businesses. Lale Eisenberg had decided to leave his home in Bratislava to help out around his parents\u2019 house. For four weeks, he worked on the house with his father and older brother, Max, both also forced out of work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His sister, Goldie, was more fortunate. She was still working as a seamstress, which meant she was the sole breadwinner in the family. She traveled to and from work in the dark. Her superior skills were the only reason her boss risked the wrath of the Germans to keep her on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One night, Goldie returned with a poster stating that all Jewish families had to offer up one adult child for work duty. <strong>They would work for the German government, and the rest of the family would be safe.<\/strong> If they refused, the entire family would be sent to a concentration camp. Lale couldn\u2019t believe that the Slovakian government had bent to Hitler\u2019s demands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lale volunteered to go because he was unattached, not like Max, who had a wife and two children. He was willing to make this sacrifice for his family. He reported for duty and was processed by two friends he\u2019d grown up with. They told him to go to Prague and wait for his assignment. Never in his imagination did he think his decision would land him on a cattle car stuffed like sardines with other young Jewish men. <strong>But he knew that if given another chance, he\u2019d make the same choice again.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who was Lale Eisenberg?
