When Childhood Ended at 5 P.M.
August 1, 1944. Five o'clock in the afternoon. A fifteen-year-old boy stands at a window, grenade in hand, watching SS troops cross a courtyard below. He pulls the pin and throws. The explosion is deafening, though the soldiers escape unharmed. In that moment, Andrew Borowiec crosses a threshold he can never uncross. "I'll never be able to live back with my mother after this," he thinks-and he's right. This memoir, scribbled initially on Red Cross toilet paper in a German POW camp, has become required reading in military academies worldwide. What makes it extraordinary isn't just its historical significance but its emotional honesty: a teenage boy's unfiltered perspective on war, resistance, and the violent theft of innocence.
