I found myself unable to put her book down, wanting to know how she managed from day to day to survive when so many around her were dying. As familiar as I thought I was about the Holocaust, I am always surprised by the stories of the survivors of the different death camps, of the atrocities they were witness to and grateful that they will not be silenced, least history repeat itself or be forgotten, and we must never forget. This woman was Hungarian, which held special meaning to me because of my uncle. I also found myself wanting to read books by other survivors as I had an uncle who left Hungary before Hitler came into power and tried to get as many of his relatives as possible out before it was too late. After the program, I knew I wanted to read her book. I read this book following a PBS special about a survivor of the Nazi Death Camps who had not only written a book about her horrific experience, but had also gone out to speak to high school students regarding her experiences.
