There are so few published firsthand accounts of what life was like for the Jewish people captured and tortured by the Nazis. This was haunting and at times made me nearly sick to my stomach, but if you know anything about the history then it's nothing new. It's just jarring to hear from someone who was so young at the time. Tova's an absolute trooper raised by incredibly strong people, and it was an honor to hear her own words.

This book, especially the first half, is a challenging, painful read. The details of the Shoah are starkly presented and preserved, with the author's memories supported by photos and historical research.
While at times horrifying, this memoir is beautifully written; the author's lost family are lovingly remembered.
I'm glad the latter half of the book is a memoir of her whole life after liberation- full of hope and healing and service and family.

Some ebs and flows but how she tells her story is intriguing. Good job of going into detail and getting her story across without it being unbearable to read
