I'm positive most people that have read this book will say it's completely memorable. This is the 1st book I have read that really impacted my life. I read it 15 yrs ago but I still recommend this people to everyone. The way Ms.Appleman-Jurman tells her story makes you feel you are there with her. It is a book about the Holocaust. I've read other Holocaust books, their stories are just as important today that it was then, but this is the one I would read again. (

This is a potentially useful addition to Holocaust literature, for although she never experienced the death camps, Appleman-Jurman lived in constant peril and managed to survive only through an extraordinary combination of luck and street sense.

added by khuggard | editLibrary Journal

Long and on occasion rambling, her story contributes to an infamous history as a tale, not only of survival, but of active resistance to oppression.
