New perspective about a child living through the holocaust
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I recently returned from a trip to Warsaw, Poland. At a holocaust memorial there were quotes from this book and so it piqued my interest. The book is beautifully written and you can feel the pain and frustration of the author. I highly recommend this book.

A very moving book. I've read many books about the Holocaust. However, I don't think I previously read one that was written by someone who was so young during the war and that focused so much on the author's adult life. Even though intellectually one knows that war scars a soul forever, living the aftereffects through a single individual's perspective is emotionally stunning. Highly recommended.
