A very powerful book

I read this book because my grandmother also spent three years in Theresienstadt. Although she openly talks about her experience, I wanted to read about it from someone else's perspective. Mrs. Schiff is able to tell her story in such a way, that you can practically imagine yourself there. I admire her strength to survive, and her love and devotion towards her family. My children are still very young (only 8 and 4), but one day, I hope that they will read this book, so that they know what their great grandmother went through, as well as millions of other Jews.Thank you, Mrs. Schiff, for sharing your haunting story, and allowing me to feel closer to my grandmother, as well as to my heritage.
