Amazing! I do not give out 5 stars very often. I could not put this book down. Despite the horrow Millie lived through, she shines. What an amazaing woman. This book touched my heart.

This was a quick but powerful read of one woman's story of her time during the Holocaust. Millie Werber suffered in numerous ways during that period -- living in the Jewish Ghetto, seeing family members killed before her, having her family members rounded up and taken away, working in arms factories and finally ending up in a concentration camp, where her own young husband was rounded up and marked for death. The author's courage is remarkable, and she is able to convey the power and horror of what she has seen and experienced without being graphic. The book is not bogged down with background information -- it is just the "meat and potatoes" of the author's experiences. Those with an interest in Jewish history, WW II history or the Holocaust should read this true story. Highly recommended. Note: This review was based upon an Advance Readers copy.
