Summary

Onrie Kompan always knew his grandfather, Marx Melnik (1923-2011) to be a man of high intellect who was respected and loved by everyone. He led an incredible yet very difficult life. Now as Marx's final days approach, Onrie must embark on the difficult task of unraveling his grandfather's dark past before his story is lost forever. MARX is the epic and inspiring story of a Russian Jewish man, born during the rise of the Soviet Union, thrust into war against Nazi Germany and persecuted by his own government. A man who miraculously survived events that claimed the lives of millions.
