Ivan Goldstein was inducted into the army in the summer of 1943, a year after graduating from high school in Denver, Colorado. A year and a half later, he was wasting away to skin and bones in Stalag XII A in Limburg, Germany, captured by the Nazis during the Battle of the Bulge after barely escaping with his life from a burning M4 Sherman tank. His strong Jewish faith—which almost got him summarily executed upon his capture—and memories of his family helped him survive the brutal existence of the POW camp until being liberated in March 1945 with the arrival of the American 9th Armored Division. In this moving memoir, at turns heart-wrenching and amusing, Goldstein recounts his life before, during, and after World War II. Although haunted by nightmares, he tries to put his time in captivity behind him, ignoring the memories of his POW experience for decades following the war. But then a surprising twist of fate draws him back to Belgium, to the site of his capture, where he is given a hero's welcome in the city of Bastogne. For there, in the city center, mounted on a pedestal in McAuliffe Square as a memorial to the Battle of the Bulge, stands the very Sherman tank from which Goldstein barely escaped, bringing him full circle back to his miraculous survival over five decades earlier.
