This book started out as a memoir about the difficulties of the Ghetto. It was very interesting and the author was extremely young, which makes it astounding that she should remember so much from that time. Still, it was interesting to read about the Ghetto and going into hiding.
Halfway through the book, the war is over. A short bit of time is spent discussing the troubles of recuperating and living in Communist Poland, but then it turns into a memoir that quickly grows repetitive, the author reminiscing about her failed marriages and depressions.
Still, the first half is worth reading.
