5.0
A powerful memoir about not only two sisters survival of Auschwitz, but their journey after liberation and the long reaching effects of the Holocaust on their lives. Very much enjoyed the “we” narration—never read anything like that before!

Gives first hand account of one of the darkest times in world history without being too dark and hopeless. The authors provide the rare perspective of child Holocaust survivors. Overall, the book provides a hopeful tone, especially as the majority of it is focused on the author’s experiences after liberation.

s obzirom da su bile stvarno male djevojčice kad su bile odvedene u auschwitz (5 i 7 godina), njihova ispovijest je narušena što zubom vremena, a što selektivnim pamćenjem/zaboravom. nadala sam se detaljnijem uvidu u taj sramotni dio povijesti, ali to je izostalo... jedva da je iznesena neka nova informacija. vrijednost ove knjige jest kao osobno svjedočanstvo dviju sada odraslih žena/baka koje su, čudom, preživjele logor, više nego kao izvor informacija.
