Author Jeremy Dronfield's powerful and moving book, The Boy Who Followed his Father Into Auschwitz, which is based on a true story, has now been re-written for a younger readership. Fritz and Kurt, with illustrations by David Ziggy Greene, is aimed at readers aged nine years plus, and explores how a Jewish father and son survived the Holocaust, and the experiences they endured.
In this video, Jeremy Dronfield tells ReadingZone why he felt their story needed to be told, and why he wanted to write this new version for children.
