I'll Meet You At Midnight

I stared at the wall right beside my window. I had just watched sun go down and I knew I didn't have much time left until I needed to get back to the sleeping chambers. But what was scratched into the wall made me stand still. I couldn't move, only stare at the words in amazement. We were really doing this, we were actually going to get out or die trying.
In scratched and difficult to read words were this sentence "I'll meet you at midnight."

Viktor is ninety seven and dying. Knowing he only has a few weeks left, he meets a young girl named Anna. Soon he learns she's in an abusive relationship with her best friend for ten years. To get her mind away from the horrors she is going through, he shares some of his own. His story of being in Auschwitz concentration camp not knowing if he'd be dead the next day. His story of finding joys in the smallest things that still exist in the grey world he is trapped in. The story of how he made a best friend for life and survived one of the darkest periods of history.
I'll Meet You At Midnight is a heartbreaking tale of friendship, loss, grief, and the art of surviving.
