This is the story of Gerda Weissman Klein's six-year ordeal as a victim of Nazi cruelty. From her home with her parents and brother in Bielitz, Poland, we see the disintegration of her life and family and she spends three years in various labor camps, then is forced on a three-month death march across Poland and Germany. Gerda somehow survives to tell the tale of her miraculous survival and her liberation by the American soldiers, one of whom she eventually marries.
I wanted to read this book since seeing the author on Oprah over 10 years ago. When she told her story, I cried and cried. I later saw part of a documentary based on this book, and cried and cried. And, when I read this book, you won't be surprised to hear that I cried and cried. (Book do not usually make me cry.) This is an inspiring story of survival that I would recommend that everyone read. My rating: 5 Stars.
