Description
Jana Rene?e Friesova? was fifteen when she was imprisoned by the Nazis in the Czech ghetto town of Terezi?n. Her memoir tells the poignantly familiar story of a young girl who, even under the most abominable circumstances, engages in intense adolescent friendships, worries with her companions over her looks, and falls in love. Anne Frank's diary ends with deportation to a concentration camp; Fortress of My Youth, in contrast, takes the reader deep into the horrors of daily life in a camp show more that were faced by a young girl and her family. But Friesova? also tells of love, joy, sacrifice, and the people who shared in the most profound experiences of her life. show lessTags
