This woman's experience finding out about her hidden Jewish heritage was interesting, enjoyable to read, and felt personal. She has a way of bring the reader into the story and making you feel the emotions she felt.

let me start by saying I have read MANY books about WWII and the Holocaust. This was not one of my favorites. I liked it, but I felt that it could have been written much better. It seemed the author was trying to make this story about herself more than about her family in general. I also felt confused as the author switched character viewpoints at the drop of a hat.

In the end I felt like the book barely scratched the surfaces of her family history. Enough so that I didnt read anything that I wasn't expecting already. I also felt that the book was a bit scattered.
