Set against the harrowing backdrop of the Holocaust, the book charts the tumultuous journey of Siggi, a young Jewish boy who witnessed the horrors of human cruelty and emerged to tell his tale. As American teens enjoyed their youth in ice cream parlours, Siggi faced brutal beatings at the hands of Nazi hoodlums, solely for being Jewish. This harrowing ordeal escalated when he and his family were deported to Auschwitz, the darkest place imaginable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSiggi's survival in the concentration camps was a testament to his resourcefulness and indomitable spirit, as he cleverly pretended to possess trade skills that were valuable to the Nazis. His journey through two grueling death marches and near starvation finally ended with his liberation from the Mauthausen camp. Post-liberation, Siggi's bravery led him to serve the US Army in their quest to hunt down Nazi war criminals, a service that earned him a cherished visa to America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUpon arriving in the United States, Siggi made three vows: to never go hungry again, to support the Jewish community, and to fight against injustice. Starting with shovelling snow after a fierce blizzard to earn his first dollar, he then endured the gruelling conditions of toxic sweatshops. Despite the challenges, Siggi's relentless determination saw him rise to become the President, Chairman, and CEO of an oil company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. His business acumen further led him to establish a full-service commercial bank, amassing assets worth over $4 billion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSiggi’s extraordinary ascent from a Holocaust survivor to a respected business magnate is an inspiring chronicle of grit, cunning, fortuity, and the unyielding desire to live life to its fullest. \u003ci\u003eUnstoppable\u003c\/i\u003e captivates the imagination with its riveting narrative, reminding readers of the strength of the human spirit and the enduring will to thrive in the face of the darkest adversities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45687210639596,"sku":"9781647224363","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781647224363.jpg?v=1725475137"},{"product_id":"moral-tribes-by-joshua-greene-9781782393399","title":"Moral Tribes","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur brains were designed for tribal life, for getting along with a select group of others (Us), and for fighting off everyone else (Them).
