For those who have read Mozes Kor's memoir aimed at the YA audience, there is not much that is new or different here.

I frequently found myself frustrated with the repetition. Despite that, I'm glad I read it, and it references some other books which I look forward to reading as well.

The best part about reading this book was not only that my little sister and I read it together but also that the author Eva Mozes Kor signed it. It was an autographed copy from this amazing woman whose childhood was during the Holocaust!
I would recommend this book to everyone that doesn't know much about Hitler and the Jewish camps. It will keep you wanting to read it all in one sitting.
