When Jacques Lusseyran used to be an eight-year-old Parisian schoolboy, he used to be blinded in an accident. He finished his schooling made up our minds to take part on the earth around him. In 1941, when he used to be seventeen, that world used to be Nazi-occupied France. Lusseyran formed a resistance group with fifty-two boys and used his heightened senses to recruit the most productive. Ultimately, Lusseyran used to be arrested and sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp in a transport of two thousand resistance fighters. He used to be one of only thirty from the transport to live on. His gripping story is among the most powerful and insightful descriptions of living and thriving with blindness, or indeed any challenge, ever published.
