All But My Life is holocaust literature, a memoir of a teenager's life during WWII as a nazi slave laborer. The significance of the title is that she did not commit suicide even in her horrific circumstances.
I just received the book and read it in one day. It is a moving story and beautifully written. Although the story includes the horror and terror-- losing her parents and brother, and much more--three years in forced labor camps and a three-month forced winter march from Germany to Czechoslovakia--it is moving. It is unlike any other holocaust literature I have read. I recommend it to anyone who is fascinated by holocaust history.
