This is a searing story of a remarkable young woman who survived the Holocaust against all odds, and after years of silence in the US her adoptive country, decided to let the world know what had happened to her, to her loved ones, and to her fellow Jews. The strength and originality of her narrative stems from both the perspective of the young woman who offers a frank insight into what it was like for her, separated from most of her family and friends to survive six years of Nazi occupation of Eastern Europe, and the author's keen recollection of small everyday details that sharply document the boundless brutality of the Nazis and their collaborators.
