S For Story/10400926
PHOENIX - s4story -- The award-winning nonfiction HENRY: A Polish Swimmer's True Story of Friendship from Auschwitz to America by Katrina Shawver is now available in three languages: English, Polish, and Czech.

Both the English and Polish editions can be ordered from any country worldwide via the online seller Book Depository at www.bookdepository.com. Book Depository accepts any currency and offers free shipping worldwide.

Synopsis
This incredible true story is both a witness to the Holocaust through Polish eyes and the story of how Henry Zguda, a Polish (Catholic) competitive swimmer, survives Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps by his wits, humor, luck, and friends. At times humorous, always gut-honest, this account fills a huge gap in historical accounts of Poles during World War II. Henry's story is backed by authentic documents and photos reprinted throughout the book, combined with meticulous research, that includes a trip to Poland and Germany in 2013. Henry Zguda was from Kraków, Poland.
