This is a great book, a very riveting story of Edith Hahn an outspoken and well educated young woman that lived in Vienna when the Gestapo forced Edith and her Mother to move to the Ghetto. Edith fights for her Mother to
not be sent but Edith is sent away to a labor camp when she returns her Mother is gone. Edith recalls her life in great detail unlike many other Holocaust survivors accounts and tells a very honest account of life during WW2. She was gutsy and not afraid to take risks.

I really enjoyed this book and highly reccommend it to anyone that likes to read Holocaust/ WW2 survival stories. This is not light reading but it is not as graphic as some others I have read.
