Spark of Life is a gripping tale of resilience and resistance set in a German concentration camp during World War II. For ten years, 509 has been a political prisoner, enduring the most hellish conditions imaginable.
Despite being deathly weak, he retains his wits and senses that the end of the war is near. If he and his fellow prisoners can hold on for liberation—or force their own—they might find meaning in their suffering.
The SS officers running the camp have become complacent, and their defenses are down. The courageous, though terribly weak, prisoners might have just enough strength left to resist. Even if they die fighting, they will do so on their own terms, cheating the Nazis out of their devil's contract.
