The Boy Who Outwitted Mengele

By William L. Simon and Michael Popik

The Boy Who Outwitted Mengele is the true story of Holocaust survivor, Michael (Miki) Popik. Miki grew up in the small town of Levice in Czechoslovakia. In 1944, his life changed forever. At the age of 13, Miki and his family were sent to the concentration camps at Auschwitz. Miki survived against all odds and ultimately triumphed to live a life of love."Miki Popik shares an incredible tale of survival, courage and resilience. He speaks of his life as a child in Czechoslovakia at the dawn of World War II, of his imprisonment at two concentration camps, of his family's struggles for survival, and his efforts after the war to locate his family. Though he was the only one from his extended family to survive, he felt very fortunate to have learned where in a mass grave in M?hldorf, Germany, his father and brother had been interred. M?hldorf was a sub-camp of the infamous Dachau, not far from Munich. Miki's story moves like none other."- Alan S. Blaustein, JD, MD"In 2012, my classmates and I from the Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership Institute were fortunate to hear you speak at the Museum of Tolerance. Your words were truly inspiring! I left the museum that day speechless and humbled. I realized that nothing in my life can be assimilated to what you have experienced in yours. It shed a new light on the human race and how we treat one another."- Sergeant Robert O'Brine, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Dept.
