When war consumed Europe, Meyer's childhood ended with a knock at the door. A Jewish boy in Nazi-occupied Poland, he was thrust into a world of chaos-where survival meant constant motion, silence, and impossible choices.
By sheer chance-by lottery-he escaped the tightening noose and began an odyssey through shattered cities and uncertain borders, fleeing not only the Germans but the ghosts of what was lost. From hidden corners of Europe to the foreign streets of Kobe and Shanghai, Meyer lived on the edge of erasure, sustained by brief kindnesses and an ember of hope that refused to die.
In the desolation of the Shanghai Ghetto, surrounded by hunger, disease, and despair, he learned that survival was not only a matter of the body, but of the spirit.
Escape by Lottery is a true story of endurance, faith, and the impossible odds one boy defied to keep his humanity alive.
