- 2016 INDIES Winner
- Honorable Mention, War & Military (Adult Nonfiction)
"The Nazi war machine was powered by slaves. Elie Poulard was just one of the more than 600,000 French civilians who were rounded up by Vichy collaborators and sent to work in Nazi Germany. Now, more than 70 years after the end of [WWII], Poulard is sharing his story. [He] recounts the largely forgotten horrors and deprivations conscripted workers suffered at the hands of their captors, as well as the dangers they faced as Allied bombs rained down around them." —Military History Now
