Search - Alicia: My Story

Wonderful book along the same lines as Diary of Anne Frank. She tells about how the Gestapo murdered her family so not for the faint of heart. Very good read and an eye opener.

Of all the Holocaust books I've had read this account of Alicia's life at the young age of 9-13 is just incredible! Her courage, quick thinking, empathy, creativity, and ability to save so many lives besides her own so unselfishly tells the story of what a special person Alicia is. Even when she is offered stability, a home, a family, new clothes, and a comfortable life again;she kindly refused it and struck out on her own as a young teenager to again travel toward her destiny. This is a story with a message that is timeless, and a story for every reader!

I had the privilege of meeting this author and hearing her speak several years ago. She is an inspiration, and her message is just as important today as ever.

This is a great story about a survivor of the Nazis. This is written more like a novel then a non-fiction book, but sadly you have to keep reminding yourself that it did truly happen. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Holocaust, the Jewish struggle, or even world war 2. I can't say enough how good this book was. Please read!

I've read many book on WWII, but this one will remain with me for a long, long time. I would recommend Alicia to anyone interested in this topic. This book gets the highest rating!
