Четейки преживяванията на това младо момиче, си даваме сметка, колко много неща имаме, за които да сме благодарни, и как всъщност не се замисляме над елементарните, всекидневни дейности в човешкия живот, носещи радост. Книгата е исторически документ, напомнящ минало, което не бива човешкия род да повтаря,но е и същевременно с това, дълбоко личния разказ на едно дете- преживяло война, глад, мъка, загуба на семейство...и чисто човешка история.

Mary Natan, a Holocaust survivor, shares her story in this unbelievable testimony. The problem I had with this book was the editor, or lack there of. There were so many errors that it got a little frustrating after a while.

Hearing this lady speak was far better than reading her book. Although it's always interseting hearing about life in the Holocaust. I was sort of annoyed with her attitude in the book..i don't know why.

I had the honor of hearing Mary's story in person. I wanted to know more of it, there is only so much that can be said within an hour, so I bought her book. It is her story. What happened to her and how she survived. It's straightforward,simple, perfect. I liked it.

If you get the chance to go to the Museum of Tolerance, GO!

Loved the book - especially as I met her in Jan 2014 at the Museum of Tolerance in LA. A young girl, 5 years in Nazi prisons.

An incredible story. The small chapters made it easy to read a few pages at a time and then put down and come back later. Some overlap in the stories, but worth reading.
