From the dust jacket: "On 28 May 1944 Isabella, her four sisters, mother and brother were herded, together with the other Jews in their Hungarian ghetto, into cattle trucks for deportation to the death camp at Auschwitz. Her mother and youngest sister died almost immediately . . . Through the constant 'selections,' for fodder for the soot-belching furnaces, the crippling hunger, the casual cruelty of the guards, the all-pervading stench of the crematoriums, liberation and the struggle to become human again, Isabella and her sisters survived; for each other, because of each other . . . It is that unrelenting hunger for life that makes 'Fragments of Isabella' the most powerful and haunting testament to emerge from the Holocaust." Length is 93 pages, text only.« less
