[Laura Carroll · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is a beautifully and hauntingly written first hand account of survival during the Holocaust. I grew up eating Passover dinner with Mr. Starkopf, his wife and adult daughter every year growing up, and I read this book as a teenager. I tried go read it again now, but I suffered a trauma injury mid book and was not in the head space to finish right now. I will read it again. Everyone should read this book.
